Framebridge
Custom Framing
Framebridge is a direct-to-consumer custom framing company that has transformed the traditional framing experience by making it accessible, affordable, and delightful. Founded in 2014 by Susan Tynan, the company emerged from her personal frustration with the complex, expensive, and time-consuming process of custom framing. What began as a solution to simplify framing has grown into a beloved brand that helps people celebrate their cherished memories through beautifully crafted frames.
Mission and Vision
Framebridge’s mission is to inspire people to display the things they love—whether stored in boxes, drawers, or on their phones—by making custom framing easy and enjoyable. The company believes that what we hang on our walls reflects who we are and who we aspire to be, encouraging intentional living and meaningful decoration.
How It Works
Framebridge streamlines the custom framing process into three simple steps:
- Submit Your Art: Customers can upload a digital photo, mail in their physical pieces (with provided packaging), or visit a retail store.
- Customize Your Frame: Choose from curated frame styles or receive personalized recommendations from design experts.
- Build & Ship: Framebridge handcrafts the frame and ships it directly to the customer, ready to hang.
