My Small Business Journey

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am the small business owner and designer at Elleedees. I design, print, and fulfill all orders myself so customers are only dealing with one point of communication at all times!

In 2009, I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri. After college, I secured a job as an in-house graphic designer at an animal health company. In the Fall of 2017, I decided to leave my job of almost eight years to work full time as an Etsy small business owner. After five years of success on Etsy, I decided to start my own website to continue creating and sharing my work to have more freedom.

Besides what you see on my store, I can do any print design project with my proficiency in the Adobe Creative Cloud. I've developed new brands, managed print production logistics and coordinated successful design projects.

Please message me if I can help you with a special project! You can also view and purchase many of my items on Amazon Handmade.
