May 2025: Wow it has been a minute since we have caught up. What a ride it has been! Since moving out to Georgia, I have expanded on so much more than apparel. I now offer products from keychains, decals, bookmarks, and so much more! Due to being so far from the “home warehouse”, I was left searching to fill a hole in my business as I did not want to abandon my business for 9+ months. There was only so much that could be done for it like advertising at such a far distance from home, but I could not offer updated styles and things which kept me relevant. This lead me to open an Etsy at God Influenced Design to promote more than apparel and now have a new outlet in my business that I could not have imagined a year ago. Maybe being led to Georgia was a call to expand.
In April of 2023, I started my new and hopefully final business venture. I wanted to finally settle and do something that truly was patented and created by me and what I truly believed in. With CustomTRBDesigns, I was doing more on what other people wanted and various requests leaving every day different and unpredictable. In this, I was doing so many projects and ideas similar to others and my brand and things I did, didn’t necessarily stand out. With this brand, I have the freedom to create and set my own designs, and stand out against other competitors with my creativity. I get to express a worldview that aligns my faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Doing this business fulfills the plan he has for me even if I do not see it just yet.
December 2023: I currently market myself on TikTok and Instagram while selling on both my website and TikTok shop. Best seller right now: Eyes Set on Jesus Tee.
