Who are you and what do you do?
At 1331 Custom Décor & Goods, everything we create is guided by one core belief: meaningful connections – with the people we love, the adventures we take, and the memories we hold dear.
We strive to create products that aren’t just beautiful, but deeply personal.
Where did your business name come from? Is there an interesting story behind it?
I frequently get asked the significance of 1331. This was the house number of my childhood home. The home where my passion for creativity was born, and nurtured. It was important for me to honor where I started, and a place that continues to mean so much to me.
Is this a full-time business for you?
My business started in November 2015, as a part-time endeavor (nights & weekends while still working my full-time job) to fuel my creativity. Exactly 3 years, to the day, after I started my business, I left the corporate world to pursue my passion full-time, and have never looked back.
What has been your favorite moment since creating your art/business?
One of my favorite moments since starting my business almost 10 years ago, was being able to leave my full-time corporate job 6+ years ago to pursue my passion full-time. It was a scary decision, but also one of the best decisions I’ve made. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has absolutely been worth it.
What is the latest thing you have been working on?
Our latest creation is our World Collection Interactive Travel Maps. This collection allows world travelers to track the countries they have visited. Designed by continent, adventure seekers can get the world (all 7 continents) or can focus on one continent. We’ve loved hearing peoples travel exploits, and upcoming travel plans.
What will you be bringing to the Gift & Art Expo for attendees to purchase?
We will, of course, have our Interactive Travel Maps. From State Parks and National Parks to US States and sports stadiums, and so many more, we have a map for anyone. And if we don’t have it, we can make it – we love custom orders! In addition, we will have some of our fun holiday décor along with ornaments, and other gifts.
Will you be featuring any special holiday items?
Each holiday season I do try to have some fun holiday décor – signs, gifts, ornaments, etc. – and this year will be no different. I have a couple signs I am working on to brighten your home and will have some new “adventure” related ornaments coming with me too.
