A leap of faith

How a layoff in Spring 2025 turned into a laser, a workshop, and a family business in McKinney, TX.

Est. 2025 · known as ES Creative Works

NTX Laser Engraving & Prints was born from a season of unexpected change, faith, and partnership.

In Spring 2025, a corporate layoff brought uncertainty and a major turning point in our journey. What initially felt like a setback became an opportunity to reimagine what was next. With the unwavering encouragement, belief, and support of my wife, we decided to take a leap of faith and build something of our own—something creative, meaningful, and lasting.

That leap became NTX Laser Engraving & Prints, a reflection of the partnership and support that made this business possible.

What started as an idea quickly grew into a passion for creating high-quality, custom laser-engraved products that tell a story. From personalized gifts and keepsakes to branded items for businesses, churches, and special events, every piece we create is crafted with care, precision, and attention to detail.

NTX Laser Engraving & Prints represents resilience, creativity, and the power of partnership. We are grateful for every customer who trusts us with their ideas and allows us to turn them into something truly special.

Thank you for supporting our small business and being part of our story.

01

Resilience

This business exists because a closed door got reopened as a workshop. That mindset shows up in how we solve problems for customers too.

02

Craft

Precision isn't a marketing word here. Every setting is tested on scrap before it touches your piece, and nothing ships that we wouldn't gift ourselves.

03

Partnership

Built by two people who back each other — which is exactly how we work with the families, churches and businesses who trust us with their ideas.

The Journey

Still early.
Already proud.

We're a young business, and we'd rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that every order still gets the founders' full attention.
