Around 1st grade, my parents saw my artistic side coming out more and more, they said I appeared to not just enjoy it but I seemed good at it. I went to catholic school and their art program wasn’t fantastic. Read more>>

Melissa and I wanted to start a hobby business from our home that combined both Melissa’s background working in men’s apparel and my background working as a marketing and content strategist.
