Our Journey

I started my business in 2018 during my own experience with infertility. What began with baby announcement onesies for families celebrating long-awaited pregnancies eventually grew into something I never could have imagined.

The products have changed quite a bit since then, but the business has always been about creating something meaningful for other people.

The Early Days 

In those early years, I spent a lot of time at markets, meeting other small business owners and hearing the stories behind what they were building.

As our family grew, so did the business. I found my way into embroidery, added machines, and gradually shifted from baby gifts to creating custom merchandise for boutiques, businesses, and teams.

Today, Ginger & Thread is a busy embroidery studio based in the Tacoma, Washington area, working with brands across the country.

I haven't done a market in years, but those early connections shaped so much of what I love about this business today.

What We Believe 

You don't have to be a big brand to have really good merch. And if you are a big brand, you deserve really good merch, too.

We believe there's something worth celebrating at every stage of building a business. It's easy to get caught up in what's next and forget how far you've come.

We love helping brands celebrate those wins with thoughtful, quality embroidered merch that's worth being proud of.
