Hi there!
I’m Carolyn, the designer behind PickleballGals and all the fun pickleball products you'll find here. I’ve been passionate about pickleball since 2017 and adore the sport for its vibrant, supportive community. Traveling and playing pickleball go hand-in-hand for me; I love meeting new people and making friends on the court. Some of my favorite pickleball adventures include competing at Nationals at Indian Wells and the US Open in Naples, trips with friends to Hilton Head, many places in Florida, a Pickleball Getaways Trip to Portugal, and enjoying family time at Tres Palapas in Baja, CA, and camp-like venues in Maine.
"I like to play what I call 'Happy Pickleball' where laughter, smiles and exercise come together in a fun, competitive environment - often with music playing in the background!"
My start . . .
I’ve been creating and designing products my entire life, starting with hand-painted jewelry. About 20 years ago, I started a personalized products business. Then In 2014, I discovered Zazzle, the premier print-on-demand platform that allows customers to easily personalize items with photos and custom text. I license my designs to Zazzle, which handles fulfillment and customer service, ensuring a 100% happiness guarantee. I also run an Etsy shop focusing on pickleball-themed leggings and tank tops.
PickleballGals . . .
In 2017 I started focusing on pickleball designs and now PickleballGals has thousands of happy pickleball customers all over the world. Our products are inspired by all the wonderful people we've met on the courts who make us smile, laugh, and create lasting memories. So please take a look around at our personalized products and pickleball blog where we write about fun pickleball products and adventures. Thanks for visiting PickleballGals and hope to see you on the court!
