My name is Alexis Thornton, and I founded APlusDesigns By Alexis in 2019 as a small class project, creating just a few handmade cards. I’ve always felt that personal touches have been lost in today’s fast-paced world—we don’t send heartfelt cards as often as we should. My goal is to bring that tradition back.

What started as a slow journey, supported by friends and family, soon grew into something bigger, with my products making their way into local stores across Michigan. More than just a business, APlusDesigns is a way for me to show my daughter that dreams are achievable with dedication and hard work. Every day, I strive to create designs that inspire connection and joy.
