Our Story

About Ratchet Arts Designs

Ratchet Arts Designs (RAD) is a Dallas-Fort Worth art studio where fine art meets laser engraving. Sean and Sheri are two artists: one rooted in fine arts, one in digital design, who create handcrafted pieces that are painted, engraved, and built to last. This is not just laser engraving. This is art infused with laser precision, made personal for families, schools, and small businesses across Texas and beyond.

How It Started

Sheri had wanted a laser for years. In December 2024 she made the purchase before the studio was even built. Then came six months of waiting. When the laser was finally set up in the studio, RAD was ready to go. The first event was in Cleburne, Texas. It was a little slow. They made enough to cover the booth fee and not much else. But they sold two pieces that day: a laser engraved tumbler and a custom ornament for a self-described "Chilihead" and walked away knowing they were onto something.

What We Make

At RAD every piece starts as art first. Our hand painted hats and home decor pieces are proof of that — fine art and laser precision combined into something you won't find anywhere else. We also make personalized keepsakes, milestone gifts, school spirit pieces, event decor, and custom artwork for families, schools, and small businesses. What makes ours different is the artistic eye behind every decision. Sheri's fine arts background, Sean's design instincts, and a shared obsession with detail means nothing leaves this studio looking like it came from a template. If it doesn't exist yet, we'll figure it out.

What We Believe

People remember what feels like them. Not the generic gift. Not the thing that could have been for anyone. The piece that had their name on it. Their story in it. Their moment built into it. That is what we make here. Ratchet Arts Designs exists to honor the individual in a world where everything else blends in. Every piece we make starts with a real person, a real story, and a real reason. That is not a slogan. That is just how we work.

Why People Choose Us

Because they want more than a product. They want something that makes the person receiving it say "this is so me." That does not happen by accident. It happens because Sean and Sheri are artists first. We'll reach out directly when you place a custom order, ask about your story, and listen. We'll bring ideas you may not have thought of. We'll send a mockup before we ever start. We'll refine it until it is exactly right. No other studio in the Dallas-Fort Worth area combines fine art with laser engraving. When you share your story with us you become part of ours. Whatever you are feeling:  joy, pride, grief, love, we feel it too. That is what goes into every piece we make.
