Who We Are
What began as a passion for creating custom corporate gifts has grown into a platform dedicated to celebrating the joy of giving — in every form. Today, we help people discover thoughtful gifts, unique finds from small makers, and fresh ways to connect through shared experiences.
For companies, that means curating gifts and branded moments that truly resonate — whether it’s building culture through team retreats, recognizing employees with keepsakes they’ll actually use, or surprising clients with something unforgettable. For individuals, it means making life’s milestones shine with colorful, personal, and joy-filled touches.
Our story started with custom gifting, but our mission is bigger: we’re in the business of connection. A thoughtful present, a shared meal, a small moment made extraordinary — all of it celebrates the human instinct to come together.
At Hey. Hi. Hello!, we may be a little cheeky, but we make giving easy, fun, and full of heart.
Our Founders
Hey. Hi. Hello! was founded by Lauren and O’Ryan, two LA natives who sought to build a gifting service that brought life back to corporate and client gifting, after receiving a few too many cookie baskets and candles. Their past volunteer works inspired them to want help others find ways to get involved.
o’Ryan, CEO
With a background in the arts, events, and food O’Ryan brings her talents together as a co-founder of Hey. Hi. Hello! After spending the last 7 years working with the top chefs of Los Angeles in the fine foods world she now brings those same high standards and passion to this project. In her spare time she loves to travel and look for the best donut in every town. She also likes to take photos of her dog Rigby and brag about how he is the best boy in the universe.
Lauren, co-founder
After opening a museum in Los Angeles and getting a Master’s in Environmental Science, Lauren decided to try her hand at entrepreneurship. She started with Pantry Party; a subscription service and marketplace for unique, sustainable, and delicious pantry goods to elevate meals at home. After a year spent sourcing and delivering some of the best flavors around, Lauren realized the potential of Pantry Party as a great gift, and partnered with Ryan to bring it to the next level with Hey. Hi. Hello! Lauren is a lover of all things, but mostly her dog Monty.
