Founded in August 2017, my custom apparel business began as a creative outlet and a way to put my art degree to work. What started with a simple shirt order for a bridal event quickly grew through word-of-mouth referrals and community support. As I expanded into custom jerseys for local school teams, I also discovered a greater purpose—mentoring students and adults on how to launch and manage their own on-demand apparel businesses.
More than just printing T-shirts, my work empowers others to express themselves, learn entrepreneurial skills, and build confidence through creativity. I help bring ideas to life across a range of canvases while teaching business fundamentals like project management, marketing, and mental wellness. Today, my business serves not only as a creative service but as a tool for inspiring calculated risks, fostering growth, and building stronger communities through knowledge and self-expression.
