About Us
Always Autumn Design Co. was created by two sisters, Jen and Jess in 2020. We are based out of Southern California.
We have always been animal lovers since childhood and our goal with Always Autumn Design Co. was to bring the same joy we get from seeing items of our pets to others. We love to give people reminders of their pets that they can take with them throughout the day - whether it be a keychain, enamel pin, hat or sticker!
Our business has grown a lot in these six years, we actually started out with making personalized pumpkins locally (which surprisingly, were really popular!) Shortly after, we branched out to drawing pets and making them into stickers on Etsy. That spiraled into investing in selling more versatile items and selling at vendor events. In these six years, we have been a part of events we never could have dreamed of when starting - such as SoCal Wienerfest, Corgi Beach Day, Goldie Palooza, and Venicefest.
There was a big learning curve with selling pet accessories. We didn't quite fit into the pet business since we weren't selling items for pets, and we didn't fit into the normal accessories business. We decided we're an accessories business for people who are obsessed with their pets!
Meet Jen
Jen is a self-proclaimed Dog Mom with her golden retrievers, Kiwi, Biscuit, and Buddy (who is greatly missed). She is active in the Orange County Golden Retrievers group and those friends were early supporters of our business and insisted we vend at Goldie Palooza. Jen is the artist that draws all of the many pet designs we have and also the one that crochets all of our tapestries and dog hats! If she isn't reading a book or at the beach, she is most likely crocheting something for an upcoming event or working on new breed designs to add to our catalog.
Meet Jess
Jess is a dog mom turned human mom. She thrives on being busy and loves a challenge, and luckily, this business brings her plenty of both. She is the main one who posts on our social media, manages inventory and operational logistics, and loves doing vendor events! If you have messaged us, you've most likely been talking to her. She loves building relationships with long-term customers turned friends. In Jess' free time, she enjoys going to community events and seeing vendor friends, thinking of new ideas for the business, and prioritizing her health and well-being.
