Our story

Hello! I am Jess and I started JW Design Studio Gifts when my husband Mike and I were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. As cotton is traditionally the 2nd anniversary gift, I found it difficult to find something meaningful that I wanted to give to him that would last a lifetime. That is when I designed a custom wedding map of the place we married and I hand printed it on cotton fabric for a unique cotton gift idea for him. You can read about our full story and timeline since 2013 here.

That was June 2013 and now we are a husband and wife team creating the perfect personalized gifts for all occasions. We are currently in our 10th year of business, read all about us and see our timeline over the past decade here. You can also read about our monumental 6th year celebration here.

JW Design Studio is rooted in celebration, love and travel. We create your special gift from start to finish in our production studio in our home of Luray, VA, USA.

“Working on your unique gift makes us happy and we hope it makes you happy too.”

From that first cotton map that started our business, we have since developed into a full service personalized gift shop and we would love to handcraft your perfect gift. If you do not see what you are looking for, feel free to contact us and let us know what you are thinking. Working on your unique gift makes us happy and we hope it makes you happy too.

We give back

Giving makes us happy and we truly hope that the efforts we’re able to contribute are able to help the organizations & recipients we support.

As we are avid dog lovers and interested in the humane care of all animals, a portion of all of our proceeds go to support animal care organizations in the Turks and Caicos Islands (where we married), Luray, VA (our current home) and Pittsburgh, Pa (our hometown). When you buy an item from us, you are helping a stray get medical attention, shelter and relocated to a new home. We appreciate your support and they do too.

In addition to supporting animal welfare, we also support individual causes throughout the year. Jess has rode for the American Diabetes Association, we work with local low income students, schools and organizations and provide annual pro-bono services to those in need.
