Shannon Thrower and India Dembecki of Southern Designs Creative is a woman-owned small business built on creativity, craftsmanship, and a deep love for the western way of life. Every item we create reflects who we are—hardworking, detail-oriented, and passionate about making products that feel personal and meaningful.
Together, Shannon and India combine their talents to design and handcraft products that bring warmth, character, and a true southern feel into your home.
At Southern Designs Creative, we specialize in a wide range of handcrafted rustic, farmhouse, and western home décor, including:
• Wooden signs and custom décor
• Picture frames (including our popular western pecan frames)
• Floating shelves and functional wood pieces
• Mirrors, wine racks, and decorative storage
• Unique, custom-built home accents
We work with a variety of high-quality woods such as pecan, red oak, maple, and reclaimed wood, ensuring every piece is not only beautiful but built to last.
Shannon brings a unique blend of creativity and skill to the business as both a custom sewing specialist and equestrian. With years of experience as a horse show apparel seamstress, she has designed and created high-quality, detailed garments for the show ring. Her background in sewing has shaped the precision, durability, and attention to detail that carries into every product we offer.
India Dembecki brings a creative spirit shaped by both her professional and personal life. As a dedicated healthcare professional, her career is driven by a genuine desire to care for others. Outside of her work in medicine, India finds balance through family, creativity, and hands-on projects. She brings that same level of heart, precision, and care into everything she creates.
India’s creative talents span a wide range of crafts, including:
• Designing shirts using vinyl, sublimation, DTF, bleaching, and tie-dye techniques
• Creating beautiful floral arrangements for weddings and special events
• Designing Halloween costumes and handmade tutu creations
• Crafting our growing aromatherapy line, including handmade soaps, sugar scrubs, and Epsom salt scrubs
For India, life is a blend of clinical expertise, cherished family moments, and the satisfaction of creating something by hand—a balance that brings both purpose and creativity into Southern Designs Creative.
