About Burnt Mill Designs Co.
Welcome to Burnt Mill Designs Co. —a small‑batch, handcrafted gift and décor studio rooted in small‑town Ohio. Every piece is made with intention, warmth, and a whole lot of heart. I create in small batches to ensure quality, uniqueness, and a personal touch—because meaningful moments deserve meaningful pieces.
The Burnt Mill Collective
Burnt Mill Designs Co. is one of two sister brands under Burnt Mill Collective, the parent company that brings all of my creative passions together. Burnt Mill Collective serves as the umbrella for both Burnt Mill Designs Co., my handcrafted décor and gift studio, and Burnt Mill Bloom & Harvest, my floral‑focused, garden‑inspired venture. Each brand has its own personality and purpose, but they share the same foundation—intentional craftsmanship, small‑batch artistry, and a deep love for creating beauty in everyday life.
How It Started
My love for crafting began in childhood, when friends and family would ask me to make keepsakes just for them. Their encouragement eventually sparked a side hustle, and in 2019, I brought my creativity to Etsy. With more than half my life spent in hospitality—sales, food & beverage, and event planning—I’ve always found joy in making others happy, whether through a beautifully planned wedding or a handcrafted gift that speaks from the soul.
Why I Create
Running this shop solo while working full‑time hasn’t always been easy, but creating is my sanctuary. After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I stepped back to rest and adjust. Even in that pause, I realized something was missing. Crafting isn’t just a hobby—it’s part of who I am. I’ve adapted my process to be gentler on my hands, and in doing so, rediscovered the joy that fuels Burnt Mill Designs Co.
This disease may have taken a lot, but it won’t take my passion. Every piece I make is a quiet act of perseverance and love.
“Creativity is the soul’s way of breathing—when we create, we heal.”
