Product: Wood Art and Laser Engraved Gifts
I’m Shequita, the owner and maker behind Quita Brew Creates — a veteran-owned, faith-filled small business specializing in laser-engraved gifts and custom wood art.
What started in a corner of our bedroom and transitioned into our garage and grown into a creative outlet that allows me to blend craftsmanship, encouragement, and faith in every piece I make.
When I left the Army, I didn’t take the time to truly discover what I would be good at or enjoy. I shifted straight into corporate work, hoping it would fill that gap, but it never quite did. I found myself searching for something that felt more meaningful — something that reflected who I was becoming outside of the uniform.
It wasn’t until my husband encouraged me to take a step back and explore my creative side that things began to shift. I started making a few small items just for fun, and I fell in love with the process — the designing, the hands-on work, the chance to create something that could make someone smile.
That’s how Quita Brew Creates was born — out of obedience, curiosity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, it’s more than a business. It’s a way to serve others, share my faith, and remind people of the beauty that comes from creating with heart and intention.
