In 2021 my good friend, Mary Kate, looked at a sweatshirt my son was wearing and said to me, “You could make that!” Within a couple of weeks, Dot’s Tees (now Dot’s KC) was born. Things started off with a Cricut and an iron in my basement, with a focus on custom kid’s clothing and somehow ended up here…with my shirts and hats in some of my favorite stores.

Along the way, Dot’s has grown to include custom merch for schools, businesses, events and more. I love getting to work with people on their ideas and create something that feels like their own.

I owe a lot to Mary Kate and shop owners like Amy Morris, at The Little House who pushed me to sell in stores. The first few buyers sparked a confidence in my work that just kept growing. My poor friends have had to answer hundreds of texts asking their opinions on designs and my husband has graciously accepted our house is also a storage and mailing center.

This has been a fun and unexpected ride. Thanks for the support!
