Hi I’m Angie Renner, and I’m the Chief Editor here at Heat Press Guide. Making designs on t-shirts has always fascinated me. I started as a young child, adding my own pictures to my clothes with magic markers. Although this greatly distressed my mother, I continued to work hard and eventually turned it into a career.

As my artistic prowess grew, I taught myself basic screen-printing. I also spent some time working in a t-shirt kiosk making custom t-shirts for walk-in customers. We made shirts and hats for sports teams, family reunions, high school groups, and many others. It was fun, but I wanted more than just ironing other people’s designs on shirts. I really wanted to design and sell t-shirts with my custom designs on them.

Heat Press Guide was born in 2016 out of a desire to help people with a similar desire to jump into the t-shirt design business. We are a team of artists, writers, web gurus, and other creative folks — people just like you. We have pooled our talents, ideas, and experience to bring you the quickest, easiest ways to make your dreams a reality. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive T-shirt Business Startup guide online. A place where new entrepreneurs can find out everything they need to know about t-shirt design, production, and sales.

If you’re looking at trying your hand at selling t-shirts online, you’ve found the right place to start. Whether you are a crafter just selling a few custom items at local craft shows or a budding designer with a ton of drawings that are begging for expression, we want to be your go-to spot. We want to be your most trusted resource and bring you easy-to-understand guides, how-to instructions, and general information about working a home-based t-shirt business.

One of our dreams is to create and nurture a community of supportive individuals willing to help each other be more comfortable with business startup and build confidence in their abilities. We’d love to hear from you, whether in a comment on one of our posts or a private message to our team.
