About RMD

Hey y’all, I’m Gwen — the heart behind Red Magnolia Designs. What started as a creative outlet between lesson plans and late-night reading sessions has grown into a cozy corner of the internet where teachers, readers, and dreamers can find something that feels like them.

I’ve always believed that small things — a favorite quote on a shirt, a cozy sweatshirt for parent-teacher night, or a tote that shows off your latest book obsession — can spark connection and joy. Red Magnolia Designs bloomed from that belief: a love of stories, community, and self-expression wrapped up in color, comfort, and a touch of Southern charm.

Every piece is made with care and heart — designed to celebrate the people who pour themselves into classrooms, stories, and everyday magic. Whether you’re shopping for something bookish, teacher-inspired, or seasonal, I hope you find something here that makes you smile and reminds you to wear your story proudly.
