Today we’d like to introduce you to Ebony Harris.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started Designs by Ebony Rae back in 2016, out of a personal love for the crafts and a desire to create something unique. Since childhood I have always been into crafting, sewing and drawing. It’s a passion, crafting allows for me to create, be creative and build a form of peace in my environment.
It all began when I realized that I wanted more out of life. I wanted a business that I would be passionate about and that I would LOVE, so I decided to combine that passion with a business idea.
I invested in my first craft machine and took the time to learn the machine and the craft. Soon after, I started making shirts, cups, totes and personalized items. Everything is going well, I have a pretty good clientele, ranging from AL, FL and GA, business is steady, and I have relocated to Georgia. Once I got to GA, I knew I wanted to step things up a notch and started doing my research on embroidery. I fell in love with the idea and invested into my first embroidery machine.
At first, it was small orders from friends and family, but I made sure to focus on delivering high quality, unique personalized items. I started creating custom embroidered sweatshirts, shirts and making embroidered shirts for other small business. I started experimenting with designs, to see what would catch people attention.
Social media became a powerful tool for me, assisting me showcasing my work and connecting me with potential clients’ state to state. Gradually, word of mouth and online request helped my business grow. As of today, I have grown business and my brand. I have provided services to over 30 businesses, schools, colleges and a couple of celebrities.
The key to growing Designs by Ebony Rae has been my dedication to quality, attention to detail, and the passion for creating beautiful, unique personalized products.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t been always a smooth road growing my business. Of course, my business isn’t paying the bills yet so I’m juggling working a fulltime time job, being a fulltime mom and maintaining a home while trying to have a little bit of personal life. It has gotten overwhelming sometimes, but I’ve learned to be organized, and schedule time to maintain structure.
