About Us
From Hobby to LLC
How It Started
My name is Tiera Masters and I'm the Owner and Founder of Up Crown Designs LLC. This started as a hobby New Years 2020, just something to do when I wasn't doing anything. One day I was browsing google for SVG/PNG files to practice making shirts. I came across a website that had all types of files geared towards the African American culture. There was one image that caught my eye. It was an image of a black woman with an afro. Inside that afro was different words that described black women. Words like: Queen, beautiful, happy, strong, melanin, loved, etc. I made the shirt in full glitter vinyl, posted it on FaceBook, and the rest is history.
