Founder
2008 - 2008
A little company I created to import some Chinese made goods. Plan was to distribute key chains with a Longhorn design on them, but I was unfortunately denied licensure by the University. Great lesson in how to deal with Chinese manufacturers when you want something done, and all the inner workings of a manufacturing process. Worked with a graphic designer on my product designs and learned how that works. Gained some meeting IQ through meetings with potential clients and people important to the future of the company.
