Our Story

Welcome to Blue Ridge & Banks

Hi, I’m Jared — a Kentucky transplant who fell in love with North Carolina long before calling it home. I used to road trip down here just to whitewater kayak, hike, and explore the trails, and I always knew I’d end up in these mountains. My wife and I, along with our two dogs Bailey and Cooper, made the move to western NC in 2019 — and we’ve felt at home ever since.

Blue Ridge & Banks is a tribute to everything I love about this state: the misty mountains, the wild coastline, and the friendly, down-to-earth people that make North Carolina feel like home. Whether you’re a native or just passing through, I hope our designs help you carry a piece of that magic with you.

Thanks for being here — and for supporting a small dream rooted in North Carolina soil.
