// About us

Hi, we're David & Bridgette.

We've been married for over 20 years, and Bridgette is my business partner and the brains of this operation. With our four kids all grown up, we finally had time for something creative, so we merged our love of design and woodworking and started Nerdy Neighbor Designs.

Today we design and make everything in-house in Manor, TX: 3D photo crystals, laser engraved gifts, wood signs, UV printed items and 3D prints. When you order from us, you're working directly with the people making your piece.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Send us a message or call or text (512) 730-0444.

What types of products do you offer?
We specialize in custom-made products created using professional laser engraving, UV printing and 3D printing. Our selection includes 3D photo crystals, personalized signs, ornaments, tumblers, cutting boards, jewelry, coasters, business gifts, home décor and much more. Every item is made to order with care and attention to detail.
Can I personalize my order?
Absolutely! Most of our products can be customized with names, logos, photos, artwork, business branding or special messages. If you have a unique idea, we'd love to help bring it to life. Just contact us before ordering if you have any special requests.
How long does it take to make my order?
Because every item is custom made, production typically takes 2 to 5 business days before shipping. Larger or more complex orders may need more time. If you need your order by a specific date, let us know and we'll do our best to meet it.
How does shipping and pickup work?
We currently ship within the United States. Orders of $150 or more ship free, and smaller orders ship by USPS for a flat $8.95. You can also choose free local pickup in Manor, TX at checkout and we'll email you when it's ready. Orders of $350 or more get 15% off automatically.
What's the difference between laser engraving and UV printing?
Laser engraving permanently etches your design into materials like wood, metal, leather and glass, creating a durable, textured finish. UV printing produces vibrant full-color images directly on the surface of many materials, making it ideal for photos, logos and colorful designs. Many of our products combine both for a premium look.
Can you create products using my business logo or artwork?
Yes! We regularly create promotional products and corporate gifts using customer-supplied logos and artwork. For the best results, send high-resolution PNG, SVG, AI, EPS or PDF files.
Do you offer bulk or business discounts?
Yes. We welcome bulk orders for businesses, schools, churches, sports teams, weddings, fundraisers and corporate events. Volume discounts are available on many products. Contact us for a custom quote.
Will I receive a proof before my item is made?
Every 3D crystal gets a free digital mockup to approve before we etch. For many other personalized products, we'll provide a digital proof on request or when needed, so you can check spelling, layout and design before we make it.
What if my item arrives damaged or there's a problem?
Customer satisfaction is our top priority. If your order arrives damaged or we made an error, contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the item and we'll make it right with a replacement or another fair solution.
Do you accept custom project requests?
Definitely! If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, we'd be happy to talk about a completely custom project, from one-of-a-kind gifts and personalized décor to company awards and business signage.
