Customs By Uncle Gij : An Origin Story.
The last 3 years have been profound to say the least. 2020 sort of forced me to make a life shift that I thought would be temporary, but as of now has become longer term. Don't get me wrong along with the unexpected move home came the realization that being with family was the priority i was looking for. So as the hub of my life went from Atlanta to St Louis my focus did as well. And i knew i would need a reliable revenue stream.
That's where Customs by Uncle Gij found its genesis. I have always been a bit of a shoe junkie, and one day as I was perusing sneaker videos on YouTube I came across a couple of channels featuring customizers showing of their creations. Then it dawned on me "I love to draw, and shoes could be another medium to create some original pieces on!" Setting off to experiment on some old beaters I had lying around, I found that I wasn't half bad. When I showed a few folks, they asked if I would be up for doing pairs for them. And a business was born. Now, I'm looking to scale it up and that's where you come in.

The biggest challenge moving forward is that I am a one man operation, but with your support my hope is to scale to the size where I can justify building a team!
