Catch my interview with Marshall Atkinson who hosts Success Stories by S&S Activewear podcast.
We talk about how I got started in the sports apparel industry, how I work with clients and how I design and produce sublimated apparel!
It’s truly an honor to be on the show with all the other past guests.

I'm super excited to announce my first online TEAM store, where I created a new logo and designed/created the apparel for a state/national/worlds winning archery team at Tampa Bay HEAT school.
Their archery team, has really advanced in the last few years from 3 shooters to over 100 shooters. See the image below for all their awards!
The apparel we are offering are Short /Long sleeve T-shirts and shorts that are fully sublimated and customized with names on the back.
I also created a polo for men/women to wear on game day. And we also wanted to offer a premium water bottle and cooling towel for those long days in the sun.
Here are screenshots of the online store which is only available to their team and family.
But let me know if your team or school need a makeover with logo and designs and uniforms.

Working with Tampa Bay HEAT Archery team. Moving them from cotton simple t-shirts to sublimation T’s. Worked a few months on the design and variations. So honored to work with them!! State and national champions! 🎯

we visited Sylvan lake today!! Gorgeous!

If you haven't noticed by now, pickleball is the hottest growing sport. I spent some time researching brands, cutting-edge fabrics, even team names and logos. I put together my own blog on with some very creative ideas for logo designs and apparel choices. Check it out!

Sturgis Virgin gaiters i just designed!

I've really enjoyed working with my new client, Triple Crown Restoration, a multi-state roofing company. I know the owners, Lisa and Craig Bailo through my favorite pastime, euchre. Craig and I went to Western Michigan University, not at the same time, but pretty cool we are both Broncos!

They have a shirt color system, which identifies their employees who have hit milestones with them. Recently they took a few of their top sales guys to OBX. So we chose LIME for the OBX trip. They use teal for their everyday and they use purple for the overachievers!! LOL

They are also a preferred contractor with Owens Corning which a very prestigious level and proves how good they are - and the pink panther makes it on every shirt!

Check out the different polos I've worked on.

Dear Valued Customers,

I wanted to address an important matter that may significantly impact our operations and product orders in the near future. There is a possibility of a UPS strike starting on August 1st, and we are closely monitoring the situation. While there is still time for UPS and the labor unions to reach a resolution, we believe in being transparent with you about the potential impact on your orders.

Here's what you need to know:

Current status:
My distributors are in regular contact with UPS to understand the potential disruption that a strike would cause to our operations.Their dedicated team is meeting weekly to stay informed and plan for contingencies in the event of a strike. While we don't have all the details yet, we want to assure you that we are actively working on solutions to manage any potential disruptions and keep your orders in process, even if there are delays. We will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.

Delays in Order Delivery:
Should a UPS strike occur, there will inevitably be delays in delivering your products. It's important to note that all carriers will be affected, and we cannot easily shift a significant volume of orders to other carriers since UPS represents the majority of our shipping. We understand that timely delivery is crucial to your business, and we will do our best to keep you informed about any potential delays as we navigate this situation.

Navigating Through Disruption:
We fully recognize the significant challenges that a UPS strike may present. We are prepared to adapt and explore all available options to uphold our service standards. Open communication remains a priority, and we will continue to keep you updated as we gather more information about the evolving situation.

Thank you for your continued business and support. We sincerely hope that UPS and the labor unions can find a resolution soon.

Thank you,
Mariellen Auer

Shout out to my friend Ken White who is a Lowe’s Technology Organizational Change Manager. He’s working on a project at Lowe’s Tech to centralize all Scrum Masters under one department. To promote team spirit and identity Ken asked me to help produce 125 team t-shirts for them all. I worked on finalizing the design, printing the shirts , and personally hand delivered! We did it in style!
As you can see everyone is really happy with the results, even some thumbs up! I look forward to working with them again!

I've done a lot of cool projects lately.
- New golf apparel client, Cackalacky Golf hired us to design and create their apparel line. Check out the pics, I actually did all the embroidery (except the hat) and printing on his tops.
- Produced a custom shaker bottle and filmed a short video for my new client Tee Realz
- Starting to work with a global music artist and LA based promotion company (who work with a number of other bands) in supplying merch and more. Can't reveal who yet.
- Working with a local company, who provides one-of-a-kind headwear for athletes that is made in USA and Carolinas specifically. We are developing his tech pack, pattern and sourcing the fabric.
- Designed, sublimation printed (actually cut and sew) custom basketball uniforms for team No Lucks Given out of Atlanta
- Working with a band out of Nashville and producing 500-600 t-shirts. But the design is not your normal design or print application. (I never get the easy stuff LOL)
- Charlotte Bourbon Society with over 4,000 members, has committed to us for all their apparel and merch.
- Working with Florida state Champions, The Tampa Bay Heat Archery team and their school and other sports programs in developing custom gear for their teams.
- Created custom logo and graphics for a powerpoint presentation for Leonard Wheeler, one of my oldest clients, over 15 years. He speaks to a wide variety of corporations around the word. And every year we have to make his presentation better than the last. I love the challenge!

It's been a busy few months and we are looking forward to what's next!! Thank you to everyone who keeps us in mind and refer us to your friends and companies. We appreciate you!
