Innovatively Handmade From the Heart
After more than 20 years in corporate America, I left the fast-paced, demanding world behind to pursue something more personal: creativity, connection, and the freedom to build something my own way.
The name M2C1 stands for "Measure Twice, Cut Once" — the golden rule of craftsmanship, and the mindset behind everything I make. It's a reminder to design with care, plan with purpose, and craft with precision. As a single mom in Los Angeles, this business became my way of staying present for my son, Nicholas, while doing work that actually lights me up.
What started as a love for DIY projects has grown into a full collection of original, handmade pieces — magnetic décor, personalized cruise cabin sets, garage door magnets, tumblers, and more. Every item is made with premium materials and real craftsmanship, in small batches, with zero shortcuts.
I'm especially proud of our officially U.S. Patented laser-free etching process for powder-coated tumblers and metal surfaces (Patent No. 12,371,797) — a technique developed and perfected right here in our studio, 100% unique to M2C1 Designs.
You'll find our full collection, including pieces not listed here on Etsy, at m2c1designs.com.
Thank you for supporting a woman-owned, California-based small business that believes in bold ideas, mindful craftsmanship, and products made to last.
With love,
Adrienne 💫
