MEET LINDSAY

meet the maker Lindsay Ashley
Welcome to Sound & Circle, perfectly planned! If you love organization (or the idea of it), living a simple life, and products that are useful without being too cluttered, let's be friends! We offer high-quality paper goods that offer intuitive layouts and sophisticated yet fun designs.

Sound & Circle got its name from many different aspects of my life! I live near Puget Sound in Washington State, and I have so much PNW pride! My home is located in a quiet neighborhood in a friendly little circle.

I grew up in Washington and have always had a recreational interest in home decor, DIY projects, and organization. My mom taught herself calligraphy and always doodled, which is probably where my interest in lettering came from. I was a middle-school math teacher but now stay-at-home with my 3 kids! I have two boys (2014 and 2015!) and a daughter, born in 2019. They keep me busy, along with spending time with family, volunteering when I can, and watching reality TV. You'll also frequently find me and my dry humor over on Instastories, where I mostly talk to entertain myself while keeping 3 kids alive. 

In 2014, a friend and I started an Etsy shop, not knowing what it would become. I spent years learning more about the craft, creating new products, and increasing the quality of what I offer. It was so much fun to not only learn new skills but create tools and decor that other people loved! I have used that knowledge to create a new brand as a sole owner, as well as a cohesive look and product style that suits both my personal aesthetic and that I know my customers will appreciate. 

I opened Sound & Circle in June of 2020, amidst a pandemic of all times! We saw such fast growth that it led me to purchasing a lot of new equipment in order to meet the demand and improve my quality, and now my little office shed is it's own Print Shop! I look forward to continuing to grow and develop products that are both beautiful and functional for you!
