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.
