Have a Custom Design Idea? Here’s How to Get Started

You don’t need a finished drawing to start a conversation about a custom piece. Sometimes an idea begins with a color, a name, a meaningful occasion, or a simple “Could we do something like this?”

A few helpful details can make that first conversation easier. Here’s what to include when you reach out to Killer Bee Studio.

Start with the product

Tell us what you’re interested in—a tumbler, a keychain, a decorative license plate, or a particular item you’ve seen in our shop. If you already have a product in mind, include its name or a link so we’re talking about the same piece. We can discuss whether your idea is a fit for that item.

Describe the look and feel

Share the colors you like, the subject or theme, and whether you prefer something bold, detailed, simple, or understated. A sentence such as “a dark background with gold details and a clean, readable name” gives us more direction than “something cool.”

Write out the wording exactly

If your idea includes a name, date, initials, or a short message, type it exactly as you want it to appear. Check spelling and punctuation, and let us know which parts are most important. If there’s a lot of text, we can talk about how to keep the design readable.

Tell us about the occasion and timing

Is this for yourself, a gift, or a special event? Let us know how many pieces you’re considering and the date you have in mind. Sharing those details early helps us discuss availability, the scope of the request, and timing before you commit to an order.

Use this simple starting point

You can copy these prompts into your message:

• Product or item link:
• Design idea or theme:
• Preferred colors:
• Exact wording, if any:
• Quantity:
• Occasion or preferred date:
• Anything else we should know:

It’s fine if you don’t have every answer yet. Tell us what you know, and which parts you’d like help figuring out.

Let’s talk about your idea

Send your request through our contact page or email contact@killerbeestudio.com. We’ll discuss what’s possible, any details we need, and the next steps. A request starts the conversation; design options, pricing, and timing need to be confirmed before an order is finalized.
