Hello! I’m Stephanie — the owner, operator, and proud multi-hat wearer behind The Country Porch Swing. What started as a simple love for building, creating, and learning has grown into something bigger than I could have imagined.
My journey began somewhere between refinishing furniture, hand-painting signs, and making jewelry. Over time, that passion evolved into a full-time business with two lasers, a UV printer, a sandblaster, a growing lineup of power tools — and an endless drive to master new skills and technologies.
Today, The Country Porch Swing offers custom engraving, UV printing, and sandblasted creations on everything from tumblers and golf balls to signs, awards, journals, and more. Whether it’s a small personalized gift or a large custom project, I love bringing ideas to life.
But creating products is only part of what I do now.
I’m also a creative business coach, mentor, and educator — helping other makers and entrepreneurs build their own paths through laser engraving, UV printing, sandblasting, and smart business strategies. I co-founded Unhinged Maker Society, a membership community designed to provide practical support, solid and actionable advice, and collaboration for creative business owners. You'll also find me speaking at industry events and conferences, sharing what I’ve learned to help others grow.
And this is just the beginning — there are even more exciting things on the horizon!
If you’re looking for handmade, high-quality products, guidance on your creative business journey, or just some inspiration, you’re in the right place. Thanks for being here — I can’t wait to create something amazing together.
