Welcome to my Blog: 'Behind the Scenes with Jami Brost'
My name is Jami and I am excited to start on this new journey. I love to be creative and I love being creative digitally the most! And what makes that even better? By putting a smile on your face when you pull out your new favorite shirt to wear.
I am a wife and mom of 3 amazing daughters that keep us rather busy and on the go all the time. I work outside the home full-time in addition to Brost Designs so that just mixes right into the chaos which is why I call myself the 'Chaos Coordinator'. It's only fitting!
Our lives are pretty well consumed with sports, sports, and more sports as my middle daughter plays volleyball and softball year round and my husband plays and coaches softball and enjoys to participate in a demo-derby or two when time allows it. Adding to all of that, I, myself coach volleyball. We are a household that LOVES sports!!!! (and apparently likes to be busy!)
Having 3 girls it seems like they always need a new shirt for this or that or their old shirt was too small so they needed a new one. And also having a husband who can't keep a good shirt to save his life just added to the never-ending need for new shirts. I seemed to always be buying new shirts for this or that. It took me some time but I finally thought to myself....'Why not make your own shirts?' So my new found friends, that is what I have set out to do!
I thought about it for quite some time and what finally pushed me over the edge and take the leap was the need for more Brost Demo shirts for my husband's demo team. So I asked my husband for a heat press machine for Christmas (I even put it in the Amazon cart for him!) and low-and-be-hold, I opened a new heat press machine on Christmas!!! I was so excited....even though I not-so-secretly knew I was getting it because at that time of the year I was always checking the status of my Amazon orders.
While I was on vacation with my kids during Christmas break I designed a new Brost Demo logo and created a new shirt design and then moved on to Brost Designs logo and away I went! My first order for Brost Demo shirts came it for 27 shirts and I was so excited and so thankful!
In all honesty, I have made some mistakes along the way with logo placements but I have learned from them. If you know everything and are perfect, then you can no longer learn and learning new things can actually be fun and exciting!
So away I go to make some cool new design, learn new techniques, and enjoy life!
Stay tuned for some future behind the scenes of new designs I am working on, new techniques I have learned, or new equipment I am working with.
Thank you for reading and I will see you back here soon!
With Love,
Jami Brost
