About Us: Crafting Dreams in Ink
Welcome to Karnez Kustom Printing, where creativity meets ambition, and every print tells a unique story. Our journey began on Howard University's campus in D.C. where a passion for design and an entrepreneurial spirit collided to form the foundation of our Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing venture.
The Genesis of an Idea
In the bustling halls of Howard, a curious college student, Karnez, found inspiration in the vibrant tapestry of campus life. Whether it was the spirited energy of student events, the camaraderie of sports teams, or the diverse expressions of individuality, one thing became clear – there was a need for personalized, expressive apparel.
Fueled by a love for graphic design and a desire to bring unique visions to life, Karnez embarked on a journey to bridge the gap between creativity and tangible expression. The idea of a DTG printing business took shape, driven by the belief that every individual deserves to wear their story on their sleeves.
Nurturing Creativity on Campus
Starting with a modest investment and an unwavering commitment to quality, Karnez Kustom printing set up a small printing studio in D.C. The studio apartment that once echoed with late-night design sessions and the hum of the DTG printer soon became the creative hub of our budding enterprise.
We quickly became woven into the fabric of campus life, collaborating with student organizations, capturing the spirit of events, and adorning garments with designs that reflected the essence of the college experience. The local community embraced our commitment to customization, turning every piece of apparel into a canvas for personal expression.
From Campus to Community
As Karnez Kustom printing grew, so did our aspirations. Beyond the confines of campus, we ventured into the wider community, participating in local markets, collaborating with small businesses, and making our mark at events that celebrated the diversity and vibrancy of D.C.
The journey has been one of learning, adaptation, and relentless pursuit of excellence. We've embraced the latest in DTG printing technology, experimented with innovative inks, and honed our craft to deliver prints that not only meet but exceed expectations.
Our Commitment
At Karnez Kustom printing, we're not just printing garments; we're crafting stories, memories, and expressions. Each design is a testament to the passion that started this journey – the passion to bring creativity to life, one print at a time.
Join us in this adventure, where the spirit of a college student's dream meets the canvas of your imagination. Karnez Kustom printing is more than a printing business; it's a celebration of individuality, a fusion of art and apparel, and a canvas where your story becomes wearable.
Thank you for being a part of our story.
