Our Story
Expect this modest little shop to focus on the creepy, the macabre, and the downright odd. But also expect no focus at all. ADHD does that.
Ollephant Design is the culmination of years of self doubt, hours of reflection, copious amounts of caffeine, and the resulting outpouring of one creepy brain.
The name Ollephant comes from a boy’s first inside joke with his mother.
Over a decade ago, a toddler named Oliver loved to laugh with (and at) his mom.
One day, he decided the funniest thing in his universe was for mom to point at his favorite stuffed elephant, then at him, and say “Elephant, Oliver… OLLEPHANT!”
After watching that beautiful little boy grow into his big personality, that mom decided the best gift she could give him was to show him how to be true to himself. So she bottled up the self doubt, embraced her creepy nature, and vowed to show him that it isn’t just OK to be different, it’s a beautiful thing to be.
This one’s for you, Ollie. Momma loves you, and wouldn’t be the same person if you hadn’t shown her how beautiful it is to be authentically, creepily, weirdly yourself. I could never thank you enough.
