The Story Behind DesignAndCrafty
Honestly? I never planned any of this.
I'm a mom. I was just sitting at home one night, kids asleep, trying to find a decent graduation template online. Couldn't find anything I actually liked that wasn't overpriced or just... ugly. So I thought — you know what, let me just make it myself.
I made a few designs. Put them on Etsy. Didn't tell anyone. Just uploaded and hoped for the best.
That first sale hit different. I remember just staring at my phone like — wait, someone actually bought this? Someone picked my design? I was so happy I couldn't sleep that night.
It wasn't easy at first. There were weeks where nothing moved. I kept making templates anyway, late nights after everything at home was done. No studio. No team. Just me, my laptop, and a lot of Canva.
And slowly it grew. Then it really grew.
Nearly 195,000 orders later I still can't believe it sometimes. People all over the world are using my designs for their graduations, their birthdays, their memorials — the big moments in their families. That means everything to me.
I still make every single template the same way I made the first one. With care. Thinking about the person who's going to use it.
If I can do this — trust me, anything is possible.
