In this digital age, people still crave that personal touch. We enjoy seeing handcrafted goods, we seek out farm-to-table food, and we love receiving hand-lettered invitations. For artist and owner of small business Emma Leigh Design<\/a>, Emma Robinson decided to go one step further by putting her own designs on custom shirts to serve as a visual reminder for people to relate to one another.<\/p>\n

\"Love<\/a>

Based on her love of hand-lettering, creating, and offering people tangible ways to connect, Emma launched her business while she was still in college. She initially started out with a focus on weddings and events but struggled to find the growth she had hoped for. She finally found her audience after winning two stationery design challenges on a popular wedding website. Combined with the support from her community, this feedback spurred her on to keep following her passion and to find opportunities to engage with others.<\/p>\n

She discovered that one new way to connect was with custom apparel. She saw that it could help her branch out beyond the paper products that made up the core of her usual business. Emma decided to try her hand at making custom t-shirts using her original designs. After hearing about Custom Ink while searching for a printer, she placed an order and never looked back.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience with Custom Ink has been incredible. They have been present and proactive through each and every stage of the process, and as a small business, that kind of support is huge!\u201d In addition to the care that Emma received through the ordering process, her customers appreciated the high quality of the shirts and printing. \u201cCustom Ink helps bring my designs to life for people to experience and enjoy on my apparel products.\u201d<\/p>\n

The t-shirts were a hit and a positive sign that people were resonating with Emma\u2019s designs. \u201cI had so much fun selling the custom t-shirts to my friends that I decided to try out making sweatshirts as well, and those have by far been my most successful items so far!\u201d It helps that Emma brought the concept of connecting with others front and center (literally) with her sweatshirt. Featuring the simple sentiment of \u201cLove Your Neighbor,\u201d\u00a0 these custom sweatshirts have gone on to be the most popular item in her store.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe each carry our own pain and struggle, and oftentimes we are unable to see what it is that other people are dealing with beneath the surface. These sweatshirts were created to serve as a visual reminder for us to recognize the worth in every person, to check in on the people around us, and to simply love first\u2014because you are loved, and so are they,\u201d says Emma.<\/p>\n

In people\u2019s fast-paced, electronic-focused lives, it is a challenge for many to look beyond their screens and think about everyone around them. Emma\u2019s custom sweatshirts resonated with enough people that, after she started selling them at the beginning of October, she\u2019s since placed multiple reorders to make sure she doesn\u2019t run out!<\/p>\n
