You dream.
Myriad Makes.
Start with an idea and we bring it to life,
even the smallest visions!
Custom-made goods, designed and produced in San Diego — starting from a single idea.
Myriad Makes is the custom-design side of Myriad McQuade. Myriad Presents is us showing up to your event, while Myriad Makes is us making something specific, just for you, that we hand off or ship to you when it's ready.
What We Work With
Laser engraving, sublimation printing, heat transfer, and cut paper and wood. That range means we can put a design on almost anything — wood, paper, glass, metal, fabric — as long as it fits what we're building toward.
How a Custom Order Starts
Most commissions start one of two ways: you send us a PNG of the design you want, or you describe what you're picturing and we develop it with you. Either way works — you don't need finished artwork to get started.
Example Commissions
A cork coaster set engraved with your pet's face
A metal lighter with a custom engraved design
A stamp carved with your own logo or initials
A card kit designed around a theme you choose
Who This Is For
Myriad Makes is built for two kinds of people at once: someone with a small budget and a specific, creative idea, and a business or event planner who needs something produced at scale — downtown San Diego brands, bachelorette parties, and convention center visitors included. No minimums means both fit.
Why Local, Custom Work Matters to Us
Ordering a mass-produced item usually means shipping from somewhere else, packaging you didn't ask for, and a design you didn't choose. Myriad Makes is the opposite of that by design: made in San Diego, made to order, and made only when someone actually wants it — which means less shipping, less waste, and nothing sitting in a warehouse. If you'd rather not buy something new at all, we'll customize an item you already own instead.
