Embroidery
Names, monograms, dates, tiny designs that mean something. Stitched into sweatshirts, blankets, beanies, towels and totes — thread holds up in a way print never does.
handmade with love
Made by hand.
Meant to be kept.
R&B Design Co is embroidery, custom vinyl and personalized pieces — designed, stitched and finished by me, one order at a time. Small batch, a little imperfect, made to stick around.

What I make
Two machines, a lot of thread, and whatever you can dream up.
Everything here starts as a blank piece of fabric and an idea — usually yours. I digitize the design, choose the thread, and run it myself.
Custom vinyl
Cut, weeded and pressed by hand for bold lettering and clean graphics — shirts for the whole family, tumblers, matching sets, and the inside joke only your group will get.
Keepsakes & gifts
The pieces people hang on to: first-name blankets, hospital-bag sets, teacher gifts, wedding party bags. Made to be used, washed, and kept in a drawer for years.
The story
The R and the B
R&B started the way most things in my house do — at the kitchen table, after bedtime. I bought a machine to make a few things for Beckett, and then for friends, and then for friends of friends. Somewhere in there the hobby quietly turned into a business.
The B is him. The R is me. It's the two of us in the name because this whole thing grew out of wanting something of my own while still being right here at home with my son — thread on the floor, spools in his hands, orders going out between naps.
It's not a warehouse. It's a real person, in a real house, making something from the ground up. Every piece that leaves here has been through my hands at least three times, and I like it that way.
Thanks for being here — R & B
How it happens
Handmade isn't a label here. It's just how it gets done.
-
01
We talk it through
Tell me the name, the date, the colors, the vibe. I'll tell you honestly what will look good stitched and what won't.
-
02
I design it
Lettering picked, layout mapped, design digitized and test-stitched. You see it before anything goes on your piece.
-
03
I make it
Hooped, stitched or pressed, trimmed and checked in good light. If it isn't right, it doesn't ship — it goes in my own laundry pile.
-
04
It ships, wrapped
Packed like a gift, because it usually is, and sent out from my studio as soon as it's finished.
Made by one person
Not printed overseas, not pulled off a shelf. Designed, stitched and finished by me.
Personal by default
Almost everything can be customized — a name, a date, a color, a little detail nobody else will have.
Small batch, on purpose
Limited runs and one-off pieces, so quality stays where I want it and nothing feels mass produced.
In the shop
Totes, tees, baby things and gifts that don't get thrown out.
New pieces get added as I make them, with seasonal designs showing up when the mood strikes. If something's sold out, ask — there's a good chance I can stitch it again.

Custom orders are my favorite part
Leave your email and I'll send you a note when custom slots open up, plus first look at new designs and seasonal drops. No spam — I don't have time for that either.
