About Us

Hey there, I’m Joelle, the hands behind Left Lane Living. This journey started in 2014 as a simple way to make meaningful gifts and has grown into a full-scale creative business supporting our family and serving customers all across the U.S.

Creativity has always been part of who I am, and getting to build something with it—while supporting our family—is something I don’t take lightly. My husband, Joey, spent nearly 20 years as a bridge carpenter. After an injury in 2022, he stepped away from that career and we decided to build this life and business together—at home, in the shop, and everywhere in between. We homeschool our two kids, run our business, and chase adventure whenever we can.

Our daughter, Rylee, is a creative force in her own right, and we love watching her explore new ideas and outlets. Our son, Lane, is autistic and non-verbal, and he’s our greatest teacher in patience, presence, and unconditional love. He shapes not just our family, but the heart behind what we do.

Left Lane Living is about more than just products—it’s about story, adventure, and building something real. We specialize in laser-crafted goods, personalized gifts, Ridge-pride apparel, decals, and custom work, all made with care and intention. Alongside the shop, we’re growing our storytelling through our blog and upcoming vlogs, weaving in autism advocacy, homesteading, and the honest, unfiltered reality of our family’s journey.

We’re not trying to be perfect. We’re building something meaningful, one piece and one story at a time.

Thanks for being here. Whether you’re here for the crafts, the cause, or the story—we’re glad you found us.
