Our company is one of those things that we just never stop thinking about so you could say that we enjoy it just a bit. It’s our way to turn our sense of creativity into a tangible product that others can enjoy.
What does MOORE mean to you?
This company means the world to us because it allows us to push ourselves, to grow and to connect with other individuals in ways that just wouldn’t be done otherwise. Most importantly, this company is the highlight of our lives. Through good times and bad, it has become an outlet that has allowed us to do things that we never thought we would and accomplish things we once saw as near impossible.
We’ve been running this business as full time students.
What'S a day in your shoes like?
Most days in our creative business are vastly different from one another but we typically have creative days and production days. Our production days consist of doing large batches of shirts in our Denver workshop to get us stocked up for the next few weeks. Our creative days are where we spend time on everything else surrounding the business to think of what’s next for our growth. Even on our “days off” we can’t help but brainstorm everything that’s next.
The inspiration for our designs stems mostly from our surroundings accompanied with the eagerness to not be in one place for too long. There are many times where we say get in the car, let’s find some place new and see how we can fit our journey into new designs. We’ve also been really inspired by connecting with mentors and professionals in the community who have built their brands on quality standards and ethics who have inspired us as young, driven individuals to take our brand in the best direction we can.
We’ve hit many milestones across the way and while we can’t attribute any one thing to our success, we can attribute our consistent hard work and dedication to where we are at. With that said, our greatest accomplishment is pausing and looking at where we are now. We are two passionate individuals who have created a business we love, we’ve provided thousands of products to people who genuinely enjoy them and have built our workshop to be a fully functioning business all while just barely entering our twenties.
Where did you get your start?
In mid high school, we decided we wanted to mess around with printing t-shirts out of one of our parents garages. As we began printing more and more, we started to see where our skills could really take us. After years of success, failures and frustration, we began to become really good printers as we began selling a vast amount of products and doing custom work for other people. When we hammered out a solid focus for what direction our brand could go, we set out to create quality printed clothing items and have set out to keep improving everyday in any way possible.
