Owl You Need Is Love – Handmade Wall Art & Print Designs by Kayla Meyer
Owl You Need Is Love is my store of wall art and print designs. A graphic designer from Austin, my designs definitely have a lot of personality in them, whether I express that with color, animals, humor or fun fonts. People love to display conversational pieces in their home and that's something I like to cater to. Design is my number one passion. From owning my own Etsy store along with being a full-time graphic designer, all my days are consumed with design, but I love it every minute of it. When I was little, I would always spent my time doodling or glueing magazine scraps to all my notebooks, so becoming a graphic designer was inevitable to me.
Owl You Need Is Love was formed after some persistence from my roommate to design some wall art for our apartment. It was no surprise that because of my obsession with owls, that my first design was my "Owl You Need Is Love" print. That one print turned into several prints, which evolved into creating my own Etsy store. It has really grown more than I could've imagined. The support from everyone has been incredible.
One of my favorite things is when customers share with me their stories behind their purchases. Ones who tell me how excited they are to receive their item in the mail, or that they're buying a print for a friend who is going through a hard time, or maybe they just wanted some cute pieces to decorate their home. I read and appreciate all the comments and messages I get.
Thanks for reading about me and my store. Every bit of support truly keeps me motivated to keep going and conquer my dreams.
