Today we’d like to introduce you to Evan Williams.
Evan, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Started in 2012 selling stickers with the name just for fun.
People suggested dong a shirt, after that did a hoodie and decided I wanted to take it to the next level with a full line and more hard goods. Backpacks and other fun stuff that you can use in your daily routine.
As a brand… We really strive to inspire people to have more free thoughts, promote them to follow their passion and make it apart of their daily routine.
What’s next… Traveling more to out of state events, promoting our in-house studio pod cast to work with large artist and other you tube influences. We feel we can help promote their story and how it relates to our overall mission.
Has it been a smooth road?
ALOT of learning curves but always a growing experience that we have been able to bounce back from!
Wasted a lot of money on random ideas and trying to collab with other people that were not in it for the right reasons. Have a much better team now that has healthy communication!
Overall… Starting the company with no college experience and being dyslexic myself there are countless obstacles but it’s always been worth the experiences this journey has provided! I truly believe we are close to becoming much more than an apparel brand.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Kareless Original – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We have a very organic way to connect so many extreme sports and styles of art in a rad new way!
Kareless the word has inspired many so far and I’m sure as we grow it will only becoming a more positive image to many more. We have had many tattoos it on their body in unique ways only states how deep of a meaning they find in our brand.
Right now, we make money off our online retail, along with large outdoor events and are using that cash flow to buy more equipment to travel / create content of our journey. People enjoy the raw and realness of what we do and how we promote ourselves in general.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I ABSOLUTLY LOVE DFW!!!!!
Endless opportunity here and such a large network to work and collaborate with. So many large celebrates pass through here in the regular as well.
Always large fun and diverse events going on!
Plenty of quality business to work with and produce our products.
In face, we only produce locally through a shop in Fort Worth and have since day one.
