Arch Theory Displays

Featuring: Megan Walker — Founder

A wooden sign with camping rules, including tips such as wake up smiling, visit with friends, sit by the fire, watch the sunset, make memories, relax and unwind, eat s'mores, watch the sunset, and drink a cold one, with illustrations of trees, a fire, mountains, and a deer at sunset.

Where Art Meets Purpose

Arch Theory Displays was born from resilience. After a serious elbow fracture in 2020, Megan Walker channeled her recovery into art, first pouring paint, then sculpting resin oceans on wood. By 2022, she shifted paths. Her hands hurt from resin work, but her vision stayed strong. That’s when she discovered laser engraving.

These days, Arch Theory Displays specializes in bohemian-inspired, laser-engraved maple wood arch displays, custom logo & QR code signs, engraved cutting boards, birth flower DIY bouquets & seasonal ornaments. Pieces that reach beyond décor connect, engage, and uplift small businesses.

A Name with Meaning

“Arch Theory Displays” isn’t just a name, it’s a story. The arch symbolizes strength, support, and new beginnings. Theory represents innovation, thoughtful design, and intentional purpose. Together, the name reflects Megan’s journey and her mission to help other small businesses shine.

Doing Things Differently

What sets Arch Theory Displays apart isn’t just the designs it’s the heart behind them. Every product has meaning:

  • Boards that spark laughter

  • Displays that encourage interaction

  • Products that reflect stories

Plus, alongside the physical goods, Arch Theory Designs is launching laser-ready digital files, making creative tools accessible for other makers.

Growth, Grit & the Road Ahead

Challenges? Plenty. But Megan turned obstacles into opportunity. Her elbow injury forced a pivot; now, laser engraving leads the way. What started as Megan Walker Art Studio, then branched into MW Custom Laser Works and digital SVG design, is now all under one roof: Arch Theory Displays.

On deck for the next year:

  • New holiday ornaments

  • Digital file offerings for small business owners

  • Expanded presence in the Rustic & Modern Collective & online

Words to Live By

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”

Megan’s advice for fellow creators: You don’t need the fanciest tools to start. Try a makerspace. Join laser-engraving communities. Learn first, buy later.
