How Did EY Get Its Start?

Growing up with a name like “LeeAnn Tjarks” made it impossible for me to find a product that was personalized for me.

Other kids would have pencils and such with their names  on them, but I never did because “LeeAnn” was never an option. There were plenty of common names, but to this day I have still never stumbled across a “LeeAnn” anywhere. This inspired my passion for creating personalized gifts, something truly special and made specifically for that one special person.

In 2012 Exclusively Yours was born. I started a business geared towards personalized gifts with only $50 and a few old paint brushes I had. What started as a custom hand painted sign side hustle quickly turned into a full time job, and evolved into laser engraved products. EY now has five employees including two puppies who oversee our security. I work side by side with my best friend, Mitch, as well as my husband, Travis. We love what we do and have a blast working together creating new products.
