I am from Minneapolis, MN. I am the Owner and Founder of Alexandrite Effect Company. I founded this company in January 2024, at a time when I was at one of my lowest points mentally and emotionally. I needed an outlet to heal, express myself, and make a difference in the world. I started creating designs and sharing them online, not knowing where it would lead.

Soon, people began asking if I could do custom apparel, and that’s when I realized this could be more than just a personal outlet — it could help others elevate their organizations and missions through something as simple as a custom t-shirt.

Since then, I’ve worked with many organizations that don’t have the same price points as major corporations. Seeing how a small custom shirt can increase exposure and make a real impact has been incredibly rewarding. This is a one-woman show, and I am grateful I can continue making a difference in our communities, one shirt at a time.

I also create and sell my own merchandise, so don’t forget to purchase something from the Shop to show your support!

My hope is that this platform will inspire Hmong women, women, moms, and anyone who’s ever felt discouraged: setbacks happen, but they don’t have to stop you. Keep going, and remember that even the smallest creative effort can create a big impact.Thank you for being part of this journey.
