NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Kalilah Wright
I am a designer and architect by trade. I launched my t-shirt company MESS in a Bottle 8 years ago with little to no start-up capital. I have since created a multimillion dollar t-shirt brand. I did not have a background in t-shirt design or production and I used my skills as a designer to help catapult my t-shirt company.
I am excited to use the skills I have learned to teach others how to start, stabilize and scale their own t-shirt brands.Â
