Personally Yours

At the age of 16, I was diagnosed with an incurable illness that changed the course of my life, eventually leaving me confined to my bed and using a wheelchair. It was during this challenging time that I discovered Zazzle and a love for designing personalized gifts. Being stuck in bed and having very limited contact with the outside world can leave you feeling isolated, but Zazzle gives me the opportunity to be a part of special moments in people’s lives. Although I’m not there when the gift is received, I love imagining the person opening the gift and the smile it brings to their face. One customer mentioned in a review that the recipient of a gift I designed cried when she saw it. Knowing that something I designed moved someone to tears brought me to tears. My store gives me the opportunity to feel like I can still play a role in other people’s lives even though I never leave my bed. I’ll never meet them or even know their names, but every day someone somewhere in the world uses or looks at something I designed and feels loved or appreciated. That’s a truly beautiful thing. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your life's special moments.
