From Concept to Creation: The Art of Our Custom Shirt Designs
Since 2016 I have been designing shirts. In 2016 my wife and I bought a shirt shop called Shirts Galore and More. Honestly, I have lost count of the complete number of shirts I have designed but my best guess is somewhere over 5,000 shirts designed. I have always enjoyed doing custom designs for people. Each of these shirt designs below have been created in Adobe Illustrator. In the art of custom shirt designs you have to be careful with how many colors you use and how to use the shirt color as a design color when possible. These are the custom shirts I designed for us to sell at craft fairs or conventions

Seamless Identity: Mastering the Craft of Cohesive Branding
Branding is one of those words that can mean many things. To designers - branding is everything. One of my proudest branding moments was when I rebranded my shirt company from Shirts Galore and More to Grounded Ink and Thread. We decided to rebrand because we had landed in a place where we do more than just shirts. We wanted something that would establsih how we are grounded in what we do. With Grounded Ink and Thread we were able to establish a cohesive brand that showed just how much we could do.
Tailored Touches: The Art of Custom Sticker Design
Every sticker I create is a unique piece of art, meticulously tailored to meet the specific needs and visions of my clients. My design process begins with understanding the purpose and personality behind each sticker request.
Using the latest design software, I experiment with layouts, colors, and typography to ensure that every element aligns perfectly with my clients' goals. This personalized approach allows me to produce stickers that are not just visually appealing but also meaningful and functional. However, sometimes the goal is simple joy! I also design stickers that are purely for fun—quirky, humorous designs meant to bring a smile or a laugh, perfect for casual sale or personal expression.
My commitment to custom design ensures that no two stickers are alike, making each one a true representation of my clients’ unique brand and message, or just a funny sticker I made to brighten someone’s day.
Websites
I learned HTML and CSS back in 2005 when I was taking classes at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville, IL. I have always enjoyed trying to figure stuff out so web design became a fun game for me. I did web design for a couple years at Network Solutions and then at Cornerstone Christian Church I was in charge of the website and it's functionality while I was there. When we bought the business in 2016 I knew I would have to keep going with web design but I didn't know I would get to learn so much about it as our business continued. I have become well versed in Shopify now and learning liquid code and how to adapt templates to do what I need them to do. The Grounded Ink and Thread website is shopify and Grounded Joy Designs goes to that page on our main site. Grounded Transfers and Grounded Stores are both websites I manage through my email and marketing database for my company.
