Our Story
Meet the friends behind C & J Specialty Designs!
A special thank you from Cathy & Jenn - the "C" & "J" of C & J Specialty Designs
"A Bond Born in the Pool"
Cathy and Jenn, two passionate parents, met through their children's local swim team. As they spent countless hours cheering on their kids, their friendship grew. Cathy, a dedicated coach, and Jenn, the ultimate "swim mom", discovered a shared vision - to create personalized products that truly reflected their team spirit. At swim meets and events, they noticed the same generic products and gear. When they approached sellers with their own ideas, they were met with disappointment: "not worth the time." This sparked their determination to create a business that welcomed all ideas and possibilities. And so, C & J Specialty Designs was born - a company built on friendship, inclusivity, and creativity; where every idea matters, and every customer is valued. Join us on this journey, where passion meets possibility.
We'd like to especially thank a few people for helping us bring our company to reality. Deanne Kelly for helping us design our company logo; Brye & Megan Lewis for helping us create and design our website; Wayne Lewis for his patience and assistance with helping us design our work space and our many family members and friends who believed in us and helped us start promoting our company.
