About Us

My name is Smriti and I'm the founder of Smriti Designs Gift Shop. My online shop specializes in custom gifts and South Asian inspired creations. I have been personally curating custom gifts for over 10 years and started this business two years ago to spread the love and excitement of creating the perfect gift for loved ones. I am driven to create products that reflect my South Asian identity, ensuring that those living away from their home or culture can find meaningful, funny, and relatable gifts for all kinds of occasions.

We offer a large gift selection for any occasion! For our pop up events we bring a great selection of products created by small businesses and creators (self care items, beauty, leather products, greeting cards, candles, etc!). Online we offer customization options for products such as apparel, drinkware, leather goods, accessories, and more!

I started my business in September of 2017 where I opened a boutique on Poshmark when I was in undergrad. I spent some time selling on many platforms like Etsy and Amazon as well. After graduating in 2021 with a BBA in Business Analytics & Information Systems, and a BA in Computer Science, I moved to Seattle, WA for my full-time job with Amazon Web Services.

With a fresh start for myself I decided to give my business a fresh start as well. I wanted to launch something that truly represented who I am as a person and the first thing that came to mind was custom gifts! I have a long history of finding the most creative and personal gifts for my friends and family ranging from photo gifts, to custom apparel, to handmade creations! I launched Smriti Designs LLC on Etsy, smritidesigns.com, and am now selling my products wholesale on Faire! Now, at 24 years of age, I see how far my business has come and it is all thanks to buyers and businesses like you that help me grow! Thank you for your interest and support in Smriti Designs!
