Motivated by his son with autism, Robert is following his dream to make cute character t-shirts so he can spend more time with family.
Hello, my name is Robert and I'm an indie designer from Santa Cruz, CA. It has been my dream for some time to be the next Paul Frank. I have spent the last two years creating characters in my own little happy world. It wasn't until recently that I got some real motivation to make this dream a reality.
Earlier this year my son was diagnosed with Autism. This was really hard on me. Especially since the majority of my time is spent away from him at work in San Francisco. This inspired me to follow my dreams so I can spend more time with him.
For two years I have been creating characters, designs, marketing plans, researching the business and creating a budget with long-term goals:
1) set-up and print an initial run of shirts for inventory
2) upgrade site to have full e-commerce capabilities
3) finance a professional photoshoot
4) create content for marketing and advertising
5) begin a marketing campaign to be everywhere I need to be
I’ve put in my own money and tons of time, but to give this project the best chance requires additional capital. I'm ready to take this to the next level. I need your help to get there. Please donate and when I reach my funding goal, I will send you a cute shirt! Check them out below :) Thanks!!!
