For over a year and a half, I’ve been on a mission to bring my own clothing brand, Mirrorball, to life. Driven by a blend of creativity and entrepreneurial grit, I applied user-centered strategies to validate my designs and connect with customers in a meaningful way. From launching a Shopify store with just two original motifs to expanding the collection to six by Q2 of 2024, I’ve focused on every detail—from concept and production to a lean go-to-market strategy. Each step has been crafted to resonate with a community that values authenticity and design with purpose.Mirrorball is more than a clothing brand—it’s a statement of purpose, style, and wit.
