Designed with Purpose. Created with Excellence. Inspired by Faith.

Because beautiful things should have meaning.

Our Story

Meet Ada Chandler

Ada Chandler is a visionary creative and custom-design leader who believes that exceptional design begins with purpose. Guided by faith and inspired by creativity, Ada takes an elevated, highly personalized approach to bringing her clients' visions to life. Her work is rooted in the belief that beauty, excellence, and intentionality are forms of stewardship.

New Life Transactions was built on that conviction — that a custom piece is worth making carefully, and that the person receiving it should be able to feel the difference. Every order that leaves here is made to that standard, whether it's one shirt or a hundred.

Our Philosophy

Our mission

Our mission is to create elevated, custom designs that transform vision into purpose-filled experiences. Rooted in faith, creativity, and excellence, we believe every idea is an opportunity to steward the gifts God has entrusted to us and bring beauty, intention, and meaning into the world. Through personalized design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence, we create distinctive pieces and experiences that reflect the individuality, values, and vision of every client we serve.

  • Purpose first

    We ask what a piece is for before we ask what it should look like.

  • Excellence as stewardship

    Doing the work well is not a finishing touch — it's the point.

  • Made for you

    Nothing here is mass-produced. Every piece is created to order, for someone specific.

Our Vision

Where we're going

Our vision is to grow New Life into a recognized custom-design brand where creativity, faith, and excellence come together to create meaningful products and experiences. As we grow, we envision expanding beyond individual custom pieces into signature collections, elevated gifting, event and celebration design, business and corporate branding, and purpose-driven collaborations. We aspire to build more than a product-based business. We want to create a lasting brand that inspires creativity, celebrates individuality, honors God through excellence, and brings new life to every vision we are trusted to create. Our vision is to create beautifully, serve intentionally, grow purposefully, and leave a lasting impact.

The Design Process

How a piece gets made

  1. Discover — an illustration of a magnifying glass, the first step in our design process

    Discover

    We start with the idea and the occasion — who it's for, what it needs to say, and where it's going to live.

  2. Design — an illustration of a drawing pen, the second step in our design process

    Design

    Artwork, colors, placement, and finishing are worked out and sent to you as a digital proof.

  3. Refine — an illustration of a proof being checked, the third step in our design process

    Refine

    You review the spelling, the colors, and the layout. We adjust until it's right, then you approve.

  4. Create — an illustration of a packed parcel, the final step in our design process

    Create

    Your piece is produced to order, checked, packed carefully, and sent on its way.

What clients say

  • I am absolutely thrilled with my custom gear from New Life Transactions! What I loved most about the experience was how smooth and professional the process was, combined with fast service that brought my vision to life flawlessly. When the package arrived, the quality totally blew me away—the print is crisp, the colors are vibrant, and the fabric feels premium and durable.

  • Absolutely love our custom shirts and water mugs. Ada was very helpful with deciding our logo type and colors. She guided us the whole way and even showed us examples of different types of print styles. Package came very well packaged, protected, and no issues with delivery. Great quality and will be ordering more in the future!
