Rooted in Creativity, Built Through Family

​​

Epic Laser Designs has always been about family, creativity, and making the most of what you’ve got.

 

I was born with ongoing health challenges, and from a young age, I was taught to focus on what could be done, not what couldn’t. That mindset shaped everything that followed.

 

Creativity was never something I learned; it was something I grew up inside of.

 

My Nan was an incredible sketch artist with a real eye for detail and imagination. My Grandad was practical, hands-on, and could build almost anything. My Mum brought a strong creative background in graphic design, and my brother Ryan, a photographer and computer specialist, helped shape the visual side of the business.

 

Some of my earliest memories are of selling at local events for charity, with my Mum and Grandad, including at Widecombe Fair on Dartmoor, from a small gazebo. Cold mornings, muddy boots, and conversations with people who genuinely connected with what we made. Those moments taught me more than anything; it was never just about the product, it was about the people.

 

That’s where Epic Laser Designs really began.

​

How It All Started

​

My journey into laser engraving began in 2013 during a charity project, when I first came across laser cutting and 3D printing.

 

I was instantly hooked.

 

I taught myself design software, experimented constantly, and even built my own 3D printer from scratch. Most of it happened, quite simply, around my grandparents’ kitchen table. Ideas, sketches, cups of tea, and more half-finished projects than I can count.

 

At first, it was just personalised gifts for friends and family. Then people started asking for more.

 

In 2021, Epic Laser Designs officially launched on my Nan and Grandad’s wedding anniversary. My Mum helped set up the workshop at home, my Nan cut the ribbon, and that was the moment everything changed.

 

A Legacy That Still Shapes Everything

​

Both my Nan and Grandad have sadly passed away, but they’re still very much part of this business.

 

You can see them in the way things are designed, the way ideas are approached, and the care that goes into every piece that leaves the workshop.

 

Some of the ideas we worked on together are now finished products. Others are still tucked away in notebooks, waiting for the right moment.

 

Nothing here is separate from them - they’re still part of it all.

 

From Small Gifts to Large-Scale Projects

​

Over time, Epic Laser Designs has grown from handmade gifts into large-scale creative work for customers across the UK.

 

We now work with individuals, charities, sports organisations, event companies, and independent businesses.

​

Recent projects include:

​

·       Over 3,000 laser-cut daisies created from copies of handwritten letters to mark the closure of the
        Danish postal service, displayed at Thelma Hulbert Gallery in Honiton

·       Hundreds of bespoke slate awards created for sports organisations across Devon

·       Wooden medals for CEDA Sports Day in Exeter

·       Branded signage and display pieces for small businesses

·       Memorial keepsakes and crystal gifts

​​

Every project is different, but the aim is always the same - to create something people genuinely connect with.

​

Crystal Engraving & Innovation

​

In 2025, we were accepted into the Exeter Cathedral Christmas Market, which opened the door into luxury crystal engraving and premium personalised gifting.

 

In 2026, we invested in an advanced UV laser and 3D crystal engraving technology, allowing us to create detailed crystal portraits and illuminated keepsakes, and introduced a compact, portable laser for on-site personalisation at events and special occasions.

 

It’s still the same idea at heart - just with more advanced tools to bring it to life.

 

What We Create

​

We specialise in bespoke laser engraving and personalised design, including:

 

·       Personalised gifts and keepsakes

·       Memorial and tribute pieces

·       Wedding and celebration décor

·       Business branding and signage

·       Medical alert IDs and dog tags

·       Sports awards and corporate gifts

·       Retail and event displays

·       Crystal engraving and illuminated gifts

​

If you’re looking for personalised gifts in the UK, memorial keepsakes, wedding décor, or branded business products, we bring ideas to life with care and attention to detail.

 

Where Creativity Takes Shape

​

Everything begins as a sketch, often on an iPad, refined and developed before being brought to life using one of our laser systems.

 

We now work with three machines -  two larger workshop-based systems built for precision and scale, and a newly added compact portable laser unit. It’s still very new to us, but it allows us to bring personalisation directly to events, businesses, and live experiences.

 

Each machine plays its own part in how we create, from detailed studio work to engraving at events. And like any workshop, there’s always a mascot - in our case, a very enthusiastic dog who insists on supervising from the comfiest spot in the room.

​

Sustainability & Responsible Making

​

Sustainability matters deeply to us. We’re proud to be recognised among the top 10% globally and top 3% in the UK within our field for sustainability practices.

 

We use FSC®, PEFC®, Fairtrade, and PEFC®-certified materials wherever possible, alongside eco-conscious packaging, waste-reduction processes, and energy-efficient production.

 

We work with suppliers who care about ethical sourcing, responsible forestry, and fair working conditions. Beautiful work should never come at the cost of the planet.

 

Community & Inclusivity

​

We’re always working to make Epic Laser Designs more inclusive and connected.

 

Recently, both my Mum and I completed Level 1 British Sign Language (BSL), helping us communicate more accessibly within our community.

 

We’re also involved in creative life across Devon, including organising the Makers Gift Market in Bovey Tracey and supporting Deaf Café meet-ups on a not-for-profit basis.

 

We work closely with independent shops and tourism businesses across Dartmoor and South Devon, supplying bespoke pieces and supporting local enterprise.

 

We offer UK-wide delivery, with free local delivery and collection options available across parts of Devon.

 

Looking Ahead

​

Epic Laser Designs continues to grow through creativity, innovation, and meaningful collaboration.

 

We’re focusing on luxury crystal engraving, personalised gifting, and bespoke business work across the UK, while continuing to produce thoughtful, high-quality pieces for every customer.

 

We’ve stepped back from gazebo-style events. They meant a lot, and they hold some of our best memories, but the focus now is on building something more sustainable for the future.

 

Thank You

​

Whether you’ve found us for a personalised gift, memorial keepsake, wedding piece, or business project - thank you for being here.

 

Everything you see started from ideas around a kitchen table, and continues today through the same belief: that meaningful work still matters.

 

Every order has a story behind it, and every piece is created with care, creativity, and intention.

 

We look forward to making something that means something to you.
