About Designed With Meaning
Dreams that Shape Design
Growing up in the woods of Kentucky gave Eric Gibbons hours and hours to prime his imagination. Whether coloring with Crayola crayons as a little boy or sketching (what he now knows are) Mandalas in the back of his school notebooks, Eric saw the world not for what it was, but for what it could be.
After exercising the analytical part of his brain consulting for start-ups and energy companies, his love for art and creativity pulled him back to create a place where both worlds - Creativity and Innovation, can coexist. Designed With Meaning® is the place where Innovation and Creativity exist, together.
Now he creates every design through the lens of the same curiosity he had as a child—the constant question, “What if we did it this way?”
Designs that Celebrate You
Today, Eric Gibbons creates designs that celebrate what makes you YOU.
It’s that simple.

Your subtle nuances. Your passions, hopes, and dreams. Every facet of your personality adds up to make you fascinating.
Designed With Meaning® started as a dream to create - not only for beauty’s sake - but to make deeply meaningful pieces crafted exclusively for you.
Because the world needs more of you.
