Shop J Kelley

Hi, I’m Jenny, a 30-year-old entrepreneur originally from a small town outside of Bangor, Maine, and the owner of Shop J Kelley (formerly known as J Kelley Designs).

My business journey began in September 2017 with the very first edition Cricut machine which is probably considered a collectible now! At the time, I was working full-time and attending college, but I quickly discovered how much I loved creating custom pieces for others. What started as a creative side hustle soon grew into something much bigger.

Over the years, I expanded into selling at local markets and events with my handmade graphic tees. Eventually, I even built my own boutique truck, which gave me the chance to meet so many amazing customers and supporters along the way.

In 2021, I welcomed my first daughter, and she became the inspiration behind chasing my dream of becoming a full-time business owner. I took the biggest leap of faith of my life leaving my 8-to-5 job to work for myself while raising her full-time.

In 2022, I opened my first storefront in Lynn Haven while also growing the wholesale side of my apparel business, allowing other small businesses across the U.S. to carry my graphic tee line.

After taking a temporary step back from business and closing that location, I’m thrilled to be back doing what I love now operating online with local pickup in downtown Panama City as I prepare to welcome baby girl number two!

This journey has been full of growth, challenges, and blessings, and I truly wouldn’t be here without the incredible support of customers like you. Every purchase, share, and kind word has helped make my dreams possible.

Supporting small businesses means more than you know and I’m so grateful to be part of your community.

Big or small, we can do just about it all… and yes, more than just t-shirts 💓
