- you grow, I grow, we grow.

- I have grown in ways I never imagined.

I've been able to grow my business, meet incredible like-minded small businesses owners, made new friends, pushed my limits and exceeded my own expectations, and developed a network of people, places and things that will forever hold the most special place in my heart.

Here are just a few ways that we incorporate our values in to our every-day processes.

I design and create everything solely and take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of all Design Studio products.

From engraved pet ID tags, machine washable pet beds and custom decor to home made pet treats, stylish collar and leash sets, and custom organizational items - we've got you and your pets covered.

I am so excited to share my products with you and give your fur baby the best in luxury, hand made comfort and style!

It's been a while!

I wanted to take a minute to reach out and explain why.

Owning my own small business has been a dream come true for me, and was always a lifelong goal. I am so so proud of how far I have come, all the amazing supporters and new friends I have made, and the incredible amount of love shown since opening in 2019.

Man, has this journey been amazing.

But no one really talks about the hard stuff.

It's very easy to get swept up in the beauty of working for yourself, having creative freedom, making your own schedule, etc. No one explains that, because you love what you do and the immense pride you hold, you pour everything you have into the business. You work 24/7. You try your best to accomodate every request, even if it means losing money or time. Even if it means changing designs last minute or hand delivering items 3 hours away so that you're 100% certain the customer has their items in time.

No one talks about the fatigue. The loss of time for friends and family. The zero days off. The mental exhaustion. Because when you're not running around doing all the things - markets, creating orders, designs, social media, networking, communications, website design, promotions, business to business marketing - you're jotting down those next ideas. You're laying awake at night wondering if you could have done something differently... better... done more... You're taking care of family. Pets. Household chores. Personal health. Vehicles. Bills. Etc. Etc. Etc.

While I am in no way closing, I did have to make the difficult decision to slow the business down during these past couple months.

Thank you for sticking around while we navigate this new season of change. It's been challenging, having a full time job on top of running a full time business. Social media hasn't been at the forefront of my priorities.

But im so grateful for you. ❤️

Remember- take care of yourself first, and always.
