Behind the Brand
I never planned to start a business.
At first, I was just searching for a hobby - something that would reflect who I am. I’ve always loved being creative with my hands, and I found peace in the process of sewing, designing, and bringing ideas to life. There was something about stitching a piece from start to finish that felt like therapy…like speaking without saying a word.
As I kept creating - clothes, bags, hats, whatever came to mind - I noticed something. Every time I finished a piece, I felt proud. But the best part? Seeing the faces of people when they received it. The smiles, joy, the “wow, this is mine?” - those moments lit a fire in me.
That’s when TYPFFE was born.
TYPFFE isn’t just a brand. It’s a reflection of me, my energy, and my commitment to making something meaningful with every thread. Each item I create is made by hand, with intention. I don’t have a favorite product because every piece is special Each one has a story, a vibe, a soul.
People often ask, “Why handmade?” The answer is simple: it matters. You can feel when something is made with love and care. You can tell when it wasn’t rushed or mass-produced. And when a client wears something I created, I want them to feel seen.
Outside my basement studio, I’m also a proud sports mom, running between games, cheering from the sidelines, and squeezing in stitches between practices. That part of my life inspires me, too. It’s what led me to start customizing items for parents and teams. It’s all about connection, community, and making people feel proud of what they represent.
This blog is a space for me to share more of the journey - behind the scenes looks, stories about the process and little pieces of life along the way. Whether you’re here for handmade fashion, custom team gear, or just want to hear stories from a mom who is trying to balance it all…you’re in the right place.
