Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Hall.
Tiffany, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I initially started my business in 2018 under the name Love in a box by Tiff. At that time, I was only doing small crafty items and gift baskets up until January of 2020. That’s when my life changed, my mother had passed from cancer. It was her second battle but this time it had metastasized to her brain. I spent eight straight days in the hospice with her, watching her transition. She had many visitors but only briefly therefore I was often there alone. During that time, my mind often wondered to a dark place because I was losing my biggest supporter. My mother passed January 15th of 2020 and I witnessed her take her last breath, that day changed me. My business stopped……… I was broken, confused and often questioned God. Not only was I dealing with grief but I was dealing with my own health issues. Well it wasn’t until late February of 2020 when I said I cannot be in the place any longer and I knew my Mom wouldn’t want me to just give up on my passion. I’ve always had a goal of making others smile whether it was through my personality or gifting them something sentimental. I started back making my gift baskets however knew I wanted to expand my business. So I started learning more skills in the crafting world. I started making t-shirts, tumblers, gift boxes and more.
Eventually, I said I needed to honor my mother within my business name but still have the meaning of crafting. So I decided on All Thingz Taylormade, which includes my mother’s maiden name Taylor. That name stood out to me because I make everything, I have yet to outsource anything. I take pride in the items I make and sometimes others don’t share that same passion. So where am I today I’m Healing and Chilling (one of my shirt designs) also Taking risks and Prospering (Trap) another clothing line I have. Even though I have my days where I am completely overwhelmed and exhausted, I cannot give up because my Mom fought until her last day and I know she’s rooting me on from heaven. I just wish I could hear it one more time. So that’s my story. I will continue the fight for my Mom, my healing and my health. I want my children Patrick, Tatyana and Tory to see I have that same willpower as my Mom.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Oh, no it hasn’t, it has been many days I wanted to quit especially when the pandemic hit. I had just lost my mom then regained my drive to create again. So here I am with all of this inventory and no one was buying anything because the world was literally shut down. Besides that, I was learning everything on my own about running a business. So a lot of important matters I didn’t have inline which may have been detrimental to my business i.e. accounting, registering my business, logistics ……My business was my full-time job because of my health issues.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in making others smile and laugh. I tend to do more than what’s asked of me to do. I like to satisfy my customers and leave a lasting impression. What sets me apart is my passion in my work.
What are your plans for the future?
My plan is to continue to make items of inspiration and motivation. To eventually opening my own craft store to teach others about the craft world. It is so many things you can create. I recently launched a clothing line so I looking forward to that prospering.
