We were lucky to catch up with Mary Imaj recently and have shared our conversation below.

Mary, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s jump right into how you came up with the idea?

My business truly fell into my life. It was planted before I knew about it. It was a Covid project that turns into a reality when I ell in love with puffer material. I was a freshman in college sent home on spring break and was on lockdown. I too a trip to Target nd bought a sketchbook just to entertain myself. Growing up my mother had a huge purse collection and I took after her. I decided to try and sketch my own designer because at this point, I was tired of buying from others and wanted to challenge myself. I didn’t know that this would change my life.

Mary, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I currently do not label myself in on area of design. I am looking forward to creating a product for every area. I believe that my brand is for everyone and gives a boost of confidence the moment that you are in my product.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

My mission is to inspire the world to try even when the odds are against yo.

Can you share one of your favorite marketing or sales stories?

Within one year of business I decided to take a chance on myself and have a popup shop surrounding my first product, INDIGO. It was revolutionary to say the least. I did not expect to see so many people supporting me. It felt like a celebration of life and I am so happy that I took a chance on myself, especially at 20 years old.
