After 20 years of operating The Design Studio locally, we have branched out to the Etsy scene. We wish to create strong customer relationships across the internet as well as with the local customers we already serve.
Believing strongly in customer service and the personal hands on approach in the manufacturing of the custom products is what has made this business successful. Each item is handmade per order and is as individual as the customer who ordered it.
OUR MISSION:
We love being part of and serving in our community. We find great joy in donating our products to worthy non-profit organizations in our area for fundraising events or just for gifts of love to the hurting or homeless. There are numerous causes that struggle to make ends meet and our hope is that we can make a difference by helping with the donation of our time and talents. A few of the non-profits that we support are listed below.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: Samaritan's Purse
Something so ordinary as a shoebox can accomplish the eternal when it is packed with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and God’s love. Then sent to some of the most unreached places in the world.
It all starts when people decide to bless a child overseas through Operation Christmas Child, a Samaritan’s Purse project. Individuals and families decide whether they will pack a shoebox for a boy or a girl and then look for gifts appropriate for a specific age range. Shoppers search for items to delight a child: a toy car or a jump rope, a slinky or a doll. They look for practical things like pencils and paper, and necessary items such as a toothbrush and toothpaste.
What begins in the heart of someone who cares can change eternity for a child and a family. The process happens millions of times over. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered more than 113 million shoeboxes in over 150 countries.
AS YOU ARE OUTREACH:
As You Are desires to reach women working in the sex industry with the message that they are valued, cherished and loved by God as they are, wherever they are. Believing every life is made in the image of God, and possesses intrinsic meaning, purpose and worth. As You Are has a desire to unconditionally pour love into the lives of the women they encounter.
The AYA team reaches women by visiting strip clubs on a quarterly basis through outreaches known as Love Calls. During these visits they give out gift bags filled with handmade items, cosmetics or jewelry, and a simple, but powerful message to the women that they are valued by God. In addition to the strip club outreach, AYA is there to provide encouragement, support, guidance and love to women who either have or are currently working in any aspect of the sex industry.
