EtchKnox started in a way that honestly just made sense.

I had ordered personalized wine bottles for a couple of friends who got engaged, and when I went to order another one, the prices had gone up and I couldn’t find anything local. I’ve always been creative, so I thought… why not just make them myself?

That turned into something bigger.

I realized there weren’t many people locally in Knoxville offering custom engraving in a way that felt personal, and I knew that’s what I cared about most. I’ve always been someone who prefers meaningful gifts over something picked off a list…something that feels thoughtful, a little unexpected, and specific to the person receiving it.

EtchKnox was built around that idea.

This isn’t about mass-producing items or being another faceless shop online. It’s about creating pieces that mean something, whether that’s a name, a date, a memory, or even a pet (because let’s be honest, people love their animals and I do too).

I love getting to interact with people, hear their ideas, and turn them into something they can actually hold onto. Whether it’s for a gift, a celebration, or something sentimental, every piece is made with that in mind.

At the end of the day, I wanted to build something that was mine, something creative, something meaningful, and something that could serve the Knoxville community in a real way.

And that’s exactly what EtchKnox is here to do.
