So nice to meet you!

Taylor Elliott enjoys creating beautiful products that make people happy! And what started as a labor of love—born out of a guest bedroom in her home—has blossomed into an award-winning brand sold in over 700 retailers nationwide, including major chains and independent stores alike.  Today, Taylor serves as Founder and Creative Director of Taylor Elliot Designs, a desk accessory and gift company specializing in colorful, motivational and fun-to-use products. Since turning her creative outlet into a dream job, Taylor has been featured in People Magazine and on Good Morning America.  In 2019, she was also recognized in Stationery Trends and Giftshop Magazine’s 40 under 40 awarded to gift industry leaders. Taylor is thrilled to share her passion for great design through pens, notepads, notebooks, planners, pouches and other cool accessories adorned with upbeat messages, pops of color and plenty of sparkle.

Born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma, Taylor spent much of her childhood covered in glitter and paint fresh off of continuous art projects!  She studied fashion merchandising and photography in college before being accepted into art school which is where she began to focus on graphic design. After graduation, she briefly worked in the corporate world while building Taylor Elliott Design at night and on weekends. Her hard work and persistence paid off as interest and demand in her product line increased. Soon, Taylor was able to transition her hobby into a full-time job that she’s truly excited about. For Taylor, the entire process—from concept to digital design to sourcing and on through seeing her products in stores—never gets old.  And the best part of all is the positive reception she gets from customers—both consumers and wholesalers who can’t get enough of Taylor Elliott Designs.  

When she’s not running her company, Taylor spends quality time with her husband and two young children. She’s always trying new recipes and prides herself on rarely making the same meal twice for her husband! Taylor also gives back by mentoring other product-based business owners, coaching them along their entrepreneurial journey.

hello from our Operations Manager!

Terry is our Operations Manager at Taylor Elliott Designs. If you’ve reached out about an order or chatted with someone on social media, you might have talked to Terry! On any given day Terry can go from working on a marketing plan and social media to customer service to helping Taylor with sourcing new products! Terry wears a lot of hats!

Terry studied Fashion Merchandising at Mississippi State (Go Dawgs!) and has worked in retail and wholesale since graduating. She lives in Mississippi with her husband Jackson and two sons, Rad and Van! Life with 3 boys is consumed by sports and playing outside, but she loves a girl’s night too! Terry’s most used (and loved) TED items are the Meal Planning Notepad, Choose Happy Weekly List Pad, and the Camo/Gingham Gel Pen Set!

“I want to always motivate and encourage my customers to work towards their dreams,
even if they seem out-of-this-world impossible at the time. I want them to feel inspired by both my designs
and my story. I wasn’t an overnight success. I want anyone reading to know that with hard work, creativity and dedication
she can take her business from a $20 dream to Good Morning America!”

Feb 2013

Open for business

Taylor opens an Etsy shop. With a $20 investment from her personal account to buy paper and shipping supplies, she’s in business designing and selling custom stationery and nursery prints. Just a fun nights and weekends kind of thing at this point!

Mar 2014

First viral product!

Taylor launches a collection of imprinted pencils and one design, a Frozen movie themed set, goes viral! Thousands of pencil sets are sold, so Taylor recruits all of her friends and family to package pencils.

July 2015

People Magazine

People Magazine features our Choose Happiness pencil design as part of their back-to-school edition. This is a huge moment and Taylor starts envisioning Taylor Elliott Designs as a full-time job instead of a creative side job. In late 2015, Taylor leaves her corporate job to pursue Taylor Elliott Designs full time.

The warehouse epiphany

Boxes everywhere, bursting at the seams! The company moves into a warehouse space, taking a huge leap forward! (I always laugh at these photos because it was a realization we needed a warehouse as soon as I started getting semi-truck deliveries to our home.)
