Learn more about Aunt Myrtle's Designs

Hi, I’m Mary — the owner and creator behind Aunt Myrtle’s Designs.

By day, I work in healthcare. By night (and most weekends), I step into my creative world. I went back to grad school later in life, and as graduation approached, I decided I needed a hobby to balance out the intensity of my work. What I didn’t expect was that this “hobby” would turn into a business rooted in creativity, strategy, and connection.

Aunt Myrtle’s Designs began as a creative outlet — and evolved into something much bigger.

You might be wondering about the name. I’m a proud aunt of nine, which explains the “Aunt.” And “Myrtle”? That comes from my best friend, who lovingly calls me Myrtle because she knows it gets under my skin. Together, the name felt personal, playful, and memorable — exactly what I believe branding should be.

Today, I help business owners move beyond generic swag and into intentional, high-quality branded products that actually work. I believe promotional items should do more than carry a logo — they should build trust, spark conversation, and keep a brand top of mind long after the first interaction.

At the same time, I still create for everyday people — meaningful, custom gifts made to celebrate moments, relationships, and milestones. From sublimation and laser-engraved cups to glittered office supplies and personalized keepsakes, every piece is made with care and attention to detail. Whether it’s for your business or someone you love, the goal is the same: to create something that feels thoughtful, useful, and uniquely you.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m honored to create something meaningful — for you, your brand, or the people you care about most.
