Frame Your Legacy
Revamping diploma frames with eclectic, modern, high-quality designs that celebrate your achievements in style.
Project Description
Celebrate Your Achievement Like The Masterpiece It Is
Every diploma represents years of hard work, ambition, and perseverance. But too often, this major milestone ends up tucked away in a drawer - or displayed in a basic, outdated frame that fails to capture the personality and power behind the achievement.
The Problem: Celebrate Your Achievement Like The Masterpiece It Is
Traditional diploma frames are generic, uninspired, and disconnected from the modern graduate’s identity. Today’s graduates are diverse, design-conscious, and expressive—but the options available to them don’t reflect that. There are over 4 million college graduates in the U.S. each year, and the market is long overdue for a refresh.
Our Solution:
We’re creating a line of premium, design-forward diploma frames that blend modern interior aesthetics with personal style. Think: high-quality materials, bold colors, eclectic finishes, and customization options that let graduates frame their moment in a way that feels uniquely them. These aren’t just diploma frames - they’re art pieces that elevate legacies.
Why We’re Different:
- Design-Driven: Founded by a passionate designer, our frames are created with a love for interiors, expression, and craftsmanship.
- Sustainably Sourced: We’re committed to using eco-conscious materials wherever possible, reducing waste, and promoting mindful manufacturing.
- Made for Today’s Grads: Our styles break the mold—no more one-size-fits-all. Our frames speak to the individuality and diversity of the next generation.
- Built for Gifting: With elegant packaging and optional personal notes, our frames are made to be proudly gifted to grads.
How the Funds Will Be Used:
We’re currently raising funds to bring our vision to life - and your support will directly power our first production run, branding, and launch strategy. While our base estimated costs range from $9,000–$14,000, we want to be fully transparent: this estimate does not yet include international tariffs or import fees, which we anticipate will increase our total startup costs.
We’re currently in the process of working with our custom frame manufacturer to finalize logistics and assess tariff impacts, but we expect the final funding need to be closer to $16,000–$18,300 to ensure quality and timely delivery.
