EM'S CUSTOMS
Owner & Designer | March 2020 - June 2022

What started as a creative outlet in college turned into a full-fledged custom footwear business. I designed and hand-painted shoes for a diverse range of clients, transforming their ideas into one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art. Beyond painting, I handled branding and social media marketing, building engagement and growing my customer base. I loved the challenge of understanding each client’s vision and making it a reality through design. For fun, I even created promotional posters of my work—turning each pair into an ad campaign, just as if they were part of a major brand launch. This business was more than just custom shoes—it was a way to push my creativity, connect with people through design, and bring unique visions to life.
