As a stay at home mom with 2 little boys, I wanted to start doing something that will occupy my mind in a positive manner. I started Kristen Ann Designs which focused on creating custom vinyl cups, custom sublimation projects, custom t shirts, and many more misc custom items. I started small with my customer base being mostly word of mouth just to occupy my time while my sons were sleeping. Now it has expanded.
