Accomplishments
IT ALL STARTED HERE
Finding My Passion
In 2020 during my sophomore year in college, I created a Pop Smoke Tribute Sweatshirt on Tik-Tok after the rapper passing. While working on this project my social media blew up! Over 600k views.
Users left and right requested if they could purchase my product. While the clout was fun, a question sparked in my head, How could I reproduces this sweatshirt for someone to purchase? And this question is what exposed me to my passion, printing designs on clothing.
