“Kim made a hoodie for my daughter after we shared an image from a foreign website with cheap prices. Hers was much nicer and I'm sure better quality. She was very quick and even dropped it off for us. Very happy with Family Designs & Creations.”

“I was wanting stickers made for my son that passed away. She was amazing. I sent her a picture of the design and it was done so quick. She was quick to respond and also gave me a deal because I lost my child. I highly recommend her and will get more done when I need.”

“I could not recommend Family Designs & Creations enough. I stumbled upon them one Christmas and bought my Christmas present. Couldn't think of anything else. Well those gifts were a big hit. Then a big birthday came and I ordered another gift that I got personalized and it was a bigger hit. Every time I need an amazing gift my go to is Family Designs & Creations.”

A page from Kim's notebook
Kim's promises.
Four things Kim will do, every time. Each one paired with a real Facebook review from someone she has worked with.
Made by one person, on purpose.
No outsourcing, no production line. Every stitch, every cut, every print leaves my home studio in the same hands it started with.
“Kim is super friendly, detail oriented, and goes above and beyond to make sure you love your order.”
Brandy D. · Personal order, repeat customer Real prices for real families.
Custom does not have to mean expensive. I work with your idea and your budget. One shirt or a hundred, you get a fair quote with no surprises.
“We shared an image from a foreign website with cheap prices. Hers was much nicer and better quality.”
Nikki W. · Custom hoodie for daughter Fast when you need fast.
Most orders are ready in 24 to 72 hours. Tell me your deadline and I will be honest about whether I can hit it before I take your money.

Asked & answered
The questions Kim hears most.
If yours is not here, just send a message. No question is too small.
Pricing depends on the product, quantity, and design. Send me your idea and I will reply with a real quote, no commitment until you say yes.
Most orders are ready in 24 to 72 hours once payment is in. Bigger orders or busy weeks can take longer. Tell me your deadline and I will be honest about whether I can hit it.
Yes. One shirt, one tumbler, one engraved keepsake, single items are welcome. There is no minimum order.
Yes. Pickup, local drop-off, and Canada-wide shipping are all options. We will sort out what works best for you.
Square (credit and debit), e-transfer, or cash. Whatever is easiest for you. Payment is upfront, once your quote is confirmed and before production starts.
That is fine. Send me a rough idea, an inspiration photo, or a description and I will help you build it from there.
A promise
If you can dream it up, I will help you make it real.
I read every message myself. I quote every order myself. I make every product myself. No call centres, no outsourcing, no upselling. Just me, doing what I love, for people I am lucky to call neighbours.
Let me make something with heart, just for you.
Kim
