Our Story

The Irish Hound Journey

Welcome to Irish Hound Designs. My name is Judd TerBush, and I’m the founder and creative force behind this heartfelt venture.

For as long as I can remember, poetry, art, and music have been central to my life. But Irish Hound Designs was born from something deeper—a transformative season of love, loss, and reflection. Around the same time, my father and my two loyal dogs, Hank and Sheamus, began facing serious illness. That year became a profound journey of caregiving, companionship, and emotional clarity as I walked beside them through their final days.

In that time of transition, I realized how deeply their spirits had shaped my own. I wanted to honor them by creating something meaningful—something that could offer comfort, inspiration, and beauty to others. That desire became Irish Hound Designs, named for Sheamus (an Irish Setter) and Hank (a Basset Hound)—the original Irish Hounds who taught me the value of presence, loyalty, and love.

Since 2015, Irish Hound Designs has been committed to crafting thoughtful, inspiring pieces that celebrate the sacred in everyday life. From custom artwork to poetic touches, each creation is made to uplift and remind us all of the small, powerful gifts life offers.
