WE DIDN’T CHOOSE THE TITLE. THE WORK DID.
SelfMade Designs became a branding agency the same way it became everything else: by building what the people around us needed next.
2013 — ONE IDEA. A BASEMENT. NO PERMISSION.
SelfMade Designs started with a clothing line built around self-improvement and self-expression. The belief was simple: becoming your best self is something you practice. The brand gave that idea a name, a uniform, and a community.
THE GARAGE
From the basement, the operation moved into a garage. That’s where the first Support Local Artists™ shirts were designed and printed—and where a clothing idea became a mission.
01 — THE MOVEMENT
ALL ARTISTS—BIG OR SMALL—START LOCALLY.
Support Local Artists™ was never just merchandise. It was a call to notice the people creating beside us and help them turn talent into momentum. The message traveled because it was true: creative careers grow when communities choose to see, support, and share the work.
02 — THE SPACE
A 4,000-SQUARE-FOOT GYM FOR CREATIVE AMBITION.
The next home in Quincy brought screen printing, clothing design, photography, recording, lessons, events, rehearsal, and collaboration under one roof. We called it the Gym for Artists because creativity gets stronger through practice.
03 — THE EVOLUTION
EVERY PROJECT TAUGHT US HOW BRANDS REALLY GROW.
Clothing led to printing. Printing led to identity. Identity led to storytelling, content, spaces, launches, and business development. Looking back, the agency was there all along.
TODAY
SelfMade Designs brings those lessons together to help founders, creators, and growing businesses build brands with clarity, character, and a future.
STILL SELFMADE.
Self-care. Self-growth. Service to others. Leadership by example. Positivity.
Built from experience. Designed for what’s next.
