The Friends Club
I co-founded a small business called The Friends Club in December 2020. Our mission was to spread positivity and inclusivity through hand-printed clothing and local events, while also selling ethically made products at a reasonable price. Although I have stepped back from the company in 2024 to focus on other passion projects, my time here has been invaluable. As the Creative Director, Co-Founder, and PR Specialist, being a part of The Friends Club has allowed me to grow in ways I never could have imagined.
On this page, you will find an outline of the work I did for the company over the past couple of years.
