THE STORY

I started this brand at 16, back in 2018, and I remember not having a clue what to do. I was winging it. I thought "How am I going to make this work?" But I just knew I wanted an outlet for my creativity and ideas, and wanted to build something that I could say was mine. For months, with the help of some school friends, started sketching any designs that came to us. It got to 2019, and I spent almost 12 months researching this industry and brainstorming what I wanted Sech to be.

In May 2019, I released my first ever t-shirt - a simple white blank with a two-tone blue logo that I sold for £10. I sold nearly all 50 of them I initially bought, mainly from friends, and it was a surreal feeling. Even though I could've designed something much better, I learned so much from just putting something out there and seeing what happened. I did the first photo shoot on top of a local multi-story car park with some school friends, and we had the best time.

Fast forward to today, we now have over 5000 followers on Instagram, hundreds of orders and customers worldwide, loads of new designs and products, a couple of viral TikToks, and even a billboard in Times Square!

It's been a crazy journey from when I was 16 and never would have thought it would have gotten to this point. Ultimately though, this has been and will always be a fun creative outlet for me, and having sales is a bonus. If you can take anything from reading this or my story, it would be to just start whatever is it you want to do, you can't be perfect from day 1!

Anyway, enough waffling, time for you to order some Sech pieces ;)
