We started this site to help people find meaningful gifts that are beautiful and easy to order.
Ashley + Eric
The first thing to know about us is that we're real people. Just like you!
We crave deeper connections and fiercely protect our free time.
So what does that have to do with shopping for a gift?
Everything.
Everything you'll find at Designed With Meaning was created by Eric. Then, we tailored each design to be easily created for someone you love.
Know you're giving a meaningful gift, and fostering a deeper connection, because you're pausing to consider what you love about this person. Or what makes the special day you're celebrating... special.

Hello! I’m Ashley
As a business owner and homeschooling mom, I understand how important it is to protect our free time - especially these days. That's why, when you shop here, you're greeted with the most simple design process.
- 1. Choose your design and checkout.
- 2. At your convenience, fill out the Personalization Form we email you immediately after checkout.
- 3. Receive a design proof and make any edits you'd like.
Easy and beautiful isn't our tagline, but maybe it should be ;)
Need help shopping? Me + our small team are always here to help. I'm thrilled you're here, and I can't wait to help you celebrate someone you love.

Hey ;) I’m Eric
My passion for creating graphic designs started right after our first child was born. Ashley was spending most of her time in the nursery rocking chair and, suddenly, I had a lot of free time on my hands.
After tinkering with different graphic design software, Ashley mentioned that I could sell the designs I was making on Etsy. After selling my first design in 2015, I had a lightbulb moment.
What if this was the way our family could spend more time together?
It's easy to say, the rest is history. But every moment in this journey has shaped the trajectory of our lives in the best ways possible.
Our designs are inspired by things that make us feel inspired: spending time with each other and our kids; the night sky, hikes in the woods, experiencing new places, and savoring magical moments.
I'm so happy you're here. I hope our designs inspire you or someone you love to... say the words, give the hug, take the trip, or remember how amazing they are.
