About Us
Our Story
Hi, I'm Kisha—the owner, designer, and creator behind Jax & James. Raised in Alabama and now calling Northwest Georgia home, I've always been inspired by the traditions and slower pace of Southern life.
Jax & James began with two of the biggest inspirations in my life: my son, Jaxon ("Jax"), and the childhood memories we were creating together.
Where It All Started
When Jax was little, he practically lived in smocked clothing. I was that mom, and most of his wardrobe came from Busy Bees Smocks. What started as simply loving the brand eventually turned into something much bigger. Jax became a brand representative, which opened the door for me to begin designing for Busy Bees before later joining the company in-house.
As Jax grew older and outgrew smocks, I found myself searching for the same timeless Southern style in larger sizes. I wanted classic pieces that felt just as special for elementary school, football games, lake weekends, family vacations, and everyday adventures—but they were surprisingly hard to find.
That search became the inspiration for Jax & James.
The Heart Behind Every Design
Today, every design begins as an original idea inspired by the simple moments that make Southern living so special: back-to-school traditions, afternoons at the ball field, weekends on the lake, fishing trips, loyal dogs, holidays with family, and the memories that stay with us long after childhood.
Each illustration is thoughtfully created in my signature hand-drawn style and carefully refined into artwork that feels timeless rather than trendy. Just as important as the design itself is the garment it's printed on. I intentionally choose quality apparel that's soft, comfortable, and made to be worn season after season.
Meet Sadie
There's one member of the family you may recognize throughout our brand—Sadie.
If you've followed Jax & James for a while, you've probably seen her modeling shirts, appearing in photos, or inspiring many of our designs. She's been Jax's best friend since the day he was born and my loyal sidekick through every late night, photoshoot, new idea, challenge, and milestone along the way.
When it came time to refresh our brand, making Sadie our official logo felt like the most natural decision. Her silhouette represents more than our beloved Labrador—it represents loyalty, family, childhood adventures, and the timeless Southern lifestyle that inspired Jax & James from the very beginning.
Made to Be Part of Your Story
At its heart, Jax & James is about creating apparel that becomes part of your family's memories. Whether it's the first day of school, a Saturday at the lake, Friday night football, or simply spending time together, my hope is that these pieces become favorites you'll reach for year after year.
Thank you for being here and for supporting this dream. I'm so grateful you're part of the Jax & James story, and I can't wait to share what's ahead.
With love from Rome, Georgia,
Kisha
