It’s time for a little housekeeping! As Shining Designs keeps growing, I’ve updated my shop values to perfectly reflect what I do, how I run things, and what you can expect when you shop with me. Consider this your official guide to the Shining Designs vibe:
📌 Welcome to Shining Designs LLC! 📌
If you love bold colors, unapologetic sarcasm, reading with zero shame, and adorable highland cows, you are in the right place! I specialize in handcrafted sublimated drinkware and accessories built to make a statement.
Here are the core values that guide everything I create and how I run my business:
✨Unapologetically Vibrant & Complex: Life is way too short for boring cups. My designs lean heavily into vivid colors, sharp sarcasm, a deep love for all things bookish and smutty, and we can’t forget, a whole lot of adorable highland cows!
✨True Solo Craftsmanship: Every single cup and accessory is made by me. None of my drinkware is pressed—I take the time to individually shrink-wrap each piece and cure it in the oven for a seamless, durable, and vibrant finish that lasts. (Note: I do not create clothing at this time, but keep an eye out because that may be coming in the near future!)
✨An Inclusive, Safe Space (Zero Hate Policy): Shining Designs is proudly LGBTQ+ friendly and an open, welcoming space for everyone. I have zero tolerance for discrimination in my booth or online. I will never accept custom requests featuring racist, hateful, or discriminatory content—period.
✨The "Keep It Fun & Neutral" Approach: I believe in delivering my absolute best work, which means sticking to the themes I know and love. Because I am a solo maker, I’ve realized that stepping outside my wheelhouse takes time away from the creations I excel at. To keep this space fun, lighthearted, and focused on my specialties, I prefer to remain completely neutral and do not accept custom requests for political or religious designs.
✨Community-Minded: I love connecting with our local community and showing up for events and vendor markets that give back. Supporting this shop means supporting an independent, locally owned small business that cares about the folks around it.
Thank you for being here, supporting handmade art, and keeping things fun. Browse around, say hi if you see me at a local event, and reach out if you have a custom idea that fits the vibe! ☕✨
