About

Welcome to BrownCow Creatives! My name is Emily Brown and I am a Graphic Designer, former Kindergarten teacher, font maker, lover of all things creative and owner and creator of this little slice of virtual heaven. I am so excited to help you create the perfect gift for your family, friends, or clients. 

This little adventure of mine started back in 2013 when my first daughter, Olivia, was born. I was searching for the PERFECT first birthday invitation and when I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, I made my own. When a dear friend suggested I sell the digital version of the invitation on Etsy, I was intrigued. After mustering up the courage to do it, I finally opened my very own Etsy shop, put that first invitation in there, and the rest is history! After my first sale, I was incredibly motivated to add more and more things. I added more invitations, clip art, and even learned how to make my own fonts. I partnered with a printing company and offered printed versions of my invitations, some of which are still available in my original Etsy shop today! I bought my first Cricut -- an Air Explore in 2015 after a fellow teacher friend introduced me to hers. I fell IN LOVE with it and started creating my own SVG files to bring to life all the creations I could imagine. And after I used my Cricut for about 5 years and got pretty comfortable with it, I started learning more about the laser world, which are like Cricuts on incredibly strong steroids. Ha! (Related: I am also a Cricut Contributing Artist now!) In August 2022, I took one of the biggest risks to date to grow my business and bought my first laser -- a Glowforge. All I can say is that I am SO GLAD God gave me the strength to do it! After only 7 months, I had outgrown that laser and bought ANOTHER ONE, a made-to-order Aeon Mira 7. It is on its way and coming in October 2023! 

As you can see, my creative journey is one that is ever-evolving. I've graduated from digital offerings to printed invitations and SVG files and now to custom, laser-made gifts, decor -- and now my absolute FAVORITE thing to date: CREATE Workshops! I draw most of the projects I provide at my workshops -- and then cut those drawings out on my laser. My laser-cut wood pieces make for the CUTEST three-dimensional projects and I love creating new designs! You will also see my laser creations in my Laser Files sections -- as I am sharing my creations with the laser maker world!

I live here in Louisville, Kentucky with my husband of 15 years, our two sweet and sassy girls, Olivia and Gracie, and our wild labrador, Sally.
