We are thrilled to be featuring Gusto Graphic Tees, a graphic design and screen printing small shop located in Austin, TX! Gusto Graphic Tees is quite the creative company, designing unique state pride and love t-shirts, tanks, stickers and buttons. A few of their designs are humorous while others are straight up full of love and happiness. Owner, Kelli Holtman, originally worked at a graphic design company for 12 years and as most people, she was eventually burned out by the mundane, day to day activities and wanted to enjoy her career as a graphic designer. One interesting night, she had a vivid dream that she speaking to her father. He challenged her to do what she felt was best and stated in her dream, “Go For The Gusto Kelli, make yourself happy, do what you want to do because life is short!” Soon after, she and her wife signed up for a few screen printing classes and thereafter, sparked up the excitement to start up Gusto Graphic Tees. Like most designers, they created designs using photoshop and showed them around to a few local stores. The couple received amazing responses and support along the way but of course, Kelli's wife was the strongest supporter of them all. And now, two years later Kelli is still running with it, doing exactly what she loves, and always thinking back to that very visual dream - forever thankful to her father for showing her the sign. For this very reason, we are honored to share this inspirational story behind what became of Gusto Graphic Tees and of curse, a few awesome products from this sweet small shop.
