Wade Designs Is Evolving—with Purpose

It has been a while since you’ve heard from me, so I wanted to take a moment to reconnect and share a little of what has been happening behind the scenes at Wade Designs.

First, I want you to know: Wade Designs is still here.

We haven’t disappeared, and we haven’t stopped creating. I have simply been taking some time to step back, look at the business as a whole, and make sure the direction we are moving in truly reflects what Wade Designs is supposed to be.

Over the years, Wade Designs has grown and changed in many ways. What started with my love for planners and organization grew into journals, stationery, faith-centered products, meaningful gifts, apparel, and so much more. Every product came from a different season of creativity and growth, and each one has played a part in the Wade Designs journey.

But sometimes growth requires you to pause.

Sometimes you have to look at everything you’ve created and ask yourself: Does this still fit where I am going? Does it still serve the people I created it for? Does it still reflect the purpose behind the brand?

Those are the questions I have been asking.

I have been carefully going through the Wade Designs product collection and taking a closer look at what we currently offer. I’m deciding which products should remain, which ones need to be refreshed, and which ones may have completed their purpose within the brand.

This isn’t about changing everything just to say something is new. It is about being more intentional with what Wade Designs creates and offers.

Wade Designs has always been about more than creating beautiful products. The purpose has always been to encourage people, strengthen their faith, help them live more intentionally, preserve meaningful moments, and remind them that there is purpose in every season of life.

As I have grown, that purpose has become even clearer.

That means taking the time to improve products that still have more to offer. It means making room for new ideas that may better serve you. It also means creating a more consistent experience throughout Wade Designs—from the moment you visit the website until the moment your order arrives.

Some of the products you know and love will remain. Some may return with thoughtful updates. Others may quietly leave the collection to make room for what comes next.

And honestly, that part is not always easy.

Every product may not remain forever, but that does not mean it didn’t matter. Each one helped Wade Designs grow into what it is today, and I will always be grateful for that.

The website will also receive a much-needed refresh as part of this process. You may notice fewer releases or a quieter season while I work through these changes, but please don’t mistake quiet for inactivity. There is a lot happening behind the scenes, and I am working carefully to make sure the next chapter of Wade Designs feels purposeful, consistent, and true to the heart of the brand.

I am not rushing the process.

Wade Designs Publishing is also still very much a part of what I am building. I am still writing, revising, and working behind the scenes to bring new stories to life. In fact, a new release is currently in the works, and I am excited to share more about it when the time is right.

So even during this quieter season, the creativity has not stopped. Whether I am refining a product, developing a new idea, or working on my next book, everything is still being created with the same purpose and intention that have always been at the heart of Wade Designs.

I want to give it the time and attention it deserves because you deserve products created with quality, care, faith, and intention. My goal is not to fill the website with more products simply to have more to sell. My goal is to make sure I am offering the right products.

Thank you for continuing to support Wade Designs through every season. Whether you have purchased a product, shared a post, told someone about the business, offered a word of encouragement, or simply continued to follow the journey, please know that your support has truly meant more to me than you may realize.

This is not the end of Wade Designs.

This is a refining season—a time to clear away what no longer fits, strengthen what does, and prepare for what comes next.

We are still here.

We are still creating.

We are still growing.

And most importantly, we are still Designed with Purpose.

I am excited about what is ahead, and I look forward to sharing more with you as this next chapter unfolds.

With gratitude,
