Jess Aframe
Hi there! I'm Jess, the founder of Make it Swag (formerly Oh So Swag), a small business I started just two years ago after a bit of a lightbulb moment while planning my son’s bar mitzvah. In searching for the perfect swag for the event, I realized there was a gap in the market, and that's how the idea for my business was born!
​
Before diving into the world of custom swag, I spent years in the corporate world in marketing and communications. I’ve lived in Ridgefield, CT for over 10 years. Along the way, I’ve been a passionate PTA volunteer and spent time teaching preschool. My creative side has always been my driving force, and now I get to bring that creativity to life every day.
​
Over the past two years I’ve learned so much about the swag world and I’ve had the pleasure of working with amazing families, schools, and teams. One of my favorite things is hosting our popular swag parties and events where we get to meet so many awesome kids!
​
Looking ahead to 2025, we’ve got some exciting new things planned. I can't wait to share them with you! Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far—your love and enthusiasm mean the world!
Sara Armstrong
I’m Sara, a local mom with a passion for creativity, design, and all things swag! I’m thrilled to be part of the Make It Swag team! In a previous life, I worked in fashion and merchandising, so getting the opportunity to use my creative skills and love for design has been a dream come true.
Jess and I first met as co-presidents of the PTA, and we became fast friends. We worked so well together that it seemed inevitable we’d find a way to collaborate again.
When Jess launched Make It Swag (formerly Oh So Swag,) I couldn’t wait to jump on board! From brainstorming new designs to working on the production and seeing the awesome swag come to life, I love every aspect of my work. I’m especially grateful to be part of such an incredible community and to work alongside Jess, the yin to my yang.
