Our Story

Shanley Customs started in 2023, in a small apartment, with a few shirts, a lot of creativity, and simply a desire to have something fun that was mine. At the time, I was working as a waitress while being a mom, and I wanted to find a hobby that gave me something to look forward to outside of the everyday routine. What began as me making shirts just for fun quickly grew into something I genuinely loved and wanted to continue building.

Life took an unexpected turn, and I took a hard break from Shanley Customs from the middle of 2024 into the beginning of 2026 while so much was changing outside of my little business. When I came back in 2026, I started slowly, finding my footing again and rediscovering the creativity that made me fall in love with this in the first place. But this time, Shanley Customs began growing into something more. I started expanding beyond shirts and adding new options, including custom decals that can go on just about anything—from laptops and cups to vehicles—and car freshies. I started with a handful of molds from Amazon, and today I have grown to more than 50+ molds while proudly representing some amazing companies and brands. I’ve even taken another step forward by creating my own cardstock designs for fellow freshie makers.

What started as a small hobby in an apartment has turned into a creative business that continues to grow and evolve. Shanley Customs is a reminder that sometimes the things we start simply because they make us happy can become something so much bigger than we ever imagined. I’m incredibly grateful for every person who has supported me, purchased from me, shared my work, or simply cheered me on along the way. This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where Shanley Customs goes next.
