Help a Black Designer Kickstart Her Business!
Donation protected
My name is Ty’Shon Hargrove and I’ve been designing clothes & jewelry for myself for as long as I can remember. My grandmother has always assisted me in creating every design I’ve ever thought of, whether it was an outfit I had imagined for an event, or an idea I came up with in my head after just seeing fabric I liked.
Being very active on social media over the years, (Myspace, Tumblr, Instagram & Twitter) I have always shared my voice through my designs.
For far too long, It has been dream of mine to see my designs on a larger scale , however the process of transitioning into making things for others people has been challenging and over the years I have been very unsure about how to go about it.
Year after year, I have placed my ideas on the back burner, waiting for the "right" moment & resources. I’m tired of making excuses!
Yesterday I became extremely inspired again after posting some old designs from 2018 & receiving a large influx of messages full of support. I decided to be honest & come forth to ask for help kickstarting my business. This kickstarter will hopefully assist in my strides to work with manufactures & would make it a lot easier to produce my designs on a larger scale.
I’ve personally always felt like my creative process has just always been all over the place & I’m working diligently to put things in order.
The money I’m raising will be used to
-Buy supplies(fabrics, sewing machine, thread, etc.)
-Cover manufacturing cost
-Get samples & patterns made
-Get website up and running
-Get Logo made
-Get Licenses and Permits
I appreciate all the help & support!
Anything at all , whether it's career advice or monetary...Just need all the support I can get!!!!!
I hope I’m able to create for y’all soon :)
Thank you so much and I Love Y’all !!
