Pioneered a service where we empower budding artists with the ability to to turn their artwork into powerful keepsakes like shirts, leggings, tote, ties and pencil cases. We also give schools the ability to fundraise their students' artwork through us. I created the website whereby users can print out templates of apparel they want to display their art on, draw on the templates or put a cut out the template over existing artwork, snap a picture of it on the phone, send it to us.
