About Us

Our Story

Built with purpose. Fueled by grit. Designed With Sparks.

We started Designed With Sparks during the early days of the pandemic, when we realized the 9-to-5 grind wasn't just unsatisfying—it was unhealthy for our family. We wanted more time with our kids, more freedom in our work, and more creativity in our lives.

Ryan has been welding since high school—over 20 years of hands-on experience in metalwork and fabrication. I joined him a few years ago, adding laser engraving to our offerings so we could build the business together. Today, we work side-by-side from our home shop in Usk, WA, designing, welding, engraving, and shipping every order ourselves.

Mission Statement

We believe in products with grit—gear that holds up, merch that means something, and metalwork that’s made to last.

Every order we ship is backed by real experience, intentional design, and small-town service you can count on.
