From 2019 to 2021, I launched a tie-dye business, starting with custom t-shirts and expanding into a full collection of women’s beachwear. I handcraft each piece using organic materials and because of the nature of the technique, every design is unique. I was recognized for having inclusive sizes. During this time, I gained invaluable experience not only mastering the tie-dye technique but also learning how to develop a business from start to finish—covering packaging, customer relations, payments, and even participating in various fairs. I’m eager to continue applying these skills and insights in future opportunities.
