Intention in Every Detail
Mothers & Makers Design Studio isn’t just a creative team — we’re family. Built by women, mothers, and makers, a shared vision unites us: to create with intention, live with purpose, and support others doing the same. Everything we design comes from the heart — rooted in real life, shaped by experience, and made to help others thrive.
We specialize in designing planners, journals, checklists, and creative tools that support mindful routines, meaningful goals, and a life well-lived. Whether you're building a business, managing a home, or healing and growing — we're here to meet you where you are with thoughtfully crafted products made by women who get it.
Our Mission
To design tools that empower people — especially women and families — to live intentionally, stay organized, and create space for what truly matters. We believe good design isn’t just beautiful —
it’s useful, soulful, and deeply human.
