Hi. I'm Julia. 

​

I created Mighty Pen Designs right out of college in the hopes that I can own my own multifaceted business. I'd like to consider myself a jack of all trades- rather a jill of all trades. Books are my main love. I love reading them, reviewing them, gushing about them; but, I also want to be part of the production side. I spent some time in college learning InDesign and really enjoyed getting to put books together. If you jump into my Projects page, you can even see that I wrote my own student friendly guide to tackling InDesign. I walked away with my own tangible book with my name on it and that feeling was unexplainable. I want to help other authors get their books out there whether its on the production side or even just to help market. ​

​

I'm also a creative which means I grew up crafting and wanted to use that to make people smile. Stickers are some of my favorite things to collect, so I wanted to start designing and making my own. The first thing I started was a Redbubble, which is basically a type of print-on-demand. I make the design and upload it, and then can sell all sorts of items with that design on it. Almost instantly I was selling Bridgerton stickers during the craze of season 3 coming out. These stickers are actually officially licensed by Netflix! I mean how cool is that? Every single sale puts a smile on my face and the idea that my stickers are all over the world is so cool. While still in college, I did a lot of vinyl work on my Cricut. I've done shirts, hats, and sweatshirts for a local furniture restoration company. I've also custom made my friend so many birthday and Christmas gifts for all of her interests and fandoms. 

​

More recently, as of the last few months of 2024, I opened up my Etsy. I've continued on the print-on-demand journey, and have sold custom post-it notes and wrapping paper. I was so excited to wrap all my holiday gifts in my own wrapping paper that I will definitely be doing that for all holidays and birthdays; and I hope you can find something that makes your special occasion even more special!

​

So where does that leave me now? Here, I guess. I wanted a hub to help connect all of my passions in one place. I want to keep using POD, but also branch into making my own products. Stickers, bookmarks- did I mention I can also etch glass?- and cater those things to your needs. I'll still be designing things to sell, but I wanted to be able to offer customization. 

​

I'd love the idea of custom making wrapping paper for special occasion, etching glasses with a special date on them, stickers of your kids faces as a cupcake topper, or what ever you might need as a gift to remind someone you're thinking of them. The possibilities are endless, and I don't want to limit myself! I hope you stick around and follow along on this journey. If you don't buy anything thats okay. Every like, comment, or share means everything to a small business!
