Hi, I’m Joanna — founder of Foxwood Engraving.

I started my creative journey over 13 years ago making personalized jewelry by hand, building what would become my first brand, Love It Personalized. What began in a small space grew through word-of-mouth, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for the meaning behind each piece.

Over time, clients began asking for more — gifts for milestones, teams, events, and companies who wanted personalization that felt intentional, not promotional. That evolution led to Foxwood Engraving — a creative studio where craftsmanship meets structure, and where personal stories and professional needs are treated with the same care.

From Systems to Craft

Before Foxwood, my career revolved around complex systems, process design, and problem-solving at scale. That experience shapes how I work today — from managing large orders and tight timelines to guiding clients through decisions with clarity and confidence.

The difference now is the output: meaningful, physical pieces people gift, keep, and remember.

Rooted in Community

Foxwood Engraving is proudly located in downtown Renton, where community is part of daily life. I’m actively involved with the Renton Downtown Partnership and love collaborating with other local businesses, schools, and organizations.

From hands-on workshops and wine walks to pop-ups and community events, the studio is designed to be a welcoming, creative space — not just a place to shop, but a place to connect.

And if you stop by, you’ll likely be greeted by Oreo.

Meet Oreo

Our resident shop dog and unofficial morale booster. He takes his greeting duties seriously and naps even more seriously.

If you stop by the studio, there’s a good chance Oreo will be nearby, quietly supervising or offering a friendly hello. He’s part of daily life at Foxwood and a reminder that creativity thrives in spaces that feel welcoming, relaxed, and human.
