team ellembee

Hi! I'm Lisa, I'm the owner and designer here at ellembee! I started my company back in 2008 when I was laid off from my job as a bedding designer in Southern California. After losing my job, I moved back to my hometown of Detroit and started ellembee -  who knew that getting laid off was going to be the best thing to ever happen to me! 

I've been in business 15 years now, and I have a small team of amazing hustlers helping to make ellembee the best it can be.  

Our funny gift products can be found here at www.ellembeegift.com, and in over 4,000 boutiques throughout the US, Canada, and Europe.

We have a 14,000 square foot warehouse in Highland, MI, where we print each and every towel, zipper pouch and onesie by hand, using an eco-friendly, water-based ink.

Here's a video of us in our previous warehouse, where we were bursting at the seams!

Oh! and here's another fun video that Michigan's SBDC (small business development center) took for us last year!  We were selected as their 2019 nominee for Southeast Michigan for Best Small Business, and we couldn't be more grateful!
