Rise Up Designs

Today we celebrate the Fourth of July—a day known for fireworks, cookouts, and time with loved ones. But here at Rise Up Designs, it’s also a day of quiet reflection. This holiday reminds us of the freedom we have to create, to express ourselves, and to gather with people who bring joy to our lives. And while there’s plenty to celebrate, this day also invites us to think about the kind of community we want to build—one full of kindness, compassion, and care. ✨ What if we all smiled a little more today? ✨ What if we offered grace to the stranger who’s different from us? ✨ What if we checked in on someone who might need a friend—or helped carry a neighbor’s load? That’s the spirit we’re embracing this Fourth of July. At Rise Up Designs, every product is made with love—but more than that, our mission is to spread light, celebrate togetherness, and remind people they matter. Whether you’re gathered around the grill or simply enjoying a slow day at home, we hope you take a moment to reflect...

I usually write these posts on Sundays, cup in hand, reflecting on life, creativity, and the rhythm of running a business I love. But this week moved differently—and that’s okay. Today is Monday. Memorial Day. And rather than rush back into the noise of the to-do list, I’m choosing to sit still a little longer. This isn’t a day for advertising or promoting. It’s a day for remembering. For honoring. For holding space for the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in freedom. As I sip slowly this morning, I’m reminded that peace is not something we just stumble into—it’s something others have fought and died for. And while no words are ever enough, gratitude is where we can begin. To the brave souls we’ve lost, and to the families who carry their memory: we honor you. We remember you. We thank you. With a quiet heart, Jecca
