Michigan Awesome has been celebrating state pride and hometown love since 2009. What started as a few clever sayings on t-shirts has grown into a booming eCommerce business with several product lines and products in over 200 stores throughout the state.
I joined the team at Michigan Awesome in 2011 on a freelance basis making improvements to their Shopify store and reporting on their digital marketing initiatives. Over the years, I began taking on more for the Michigan Awesome team and started full-time with them in 2017.
I’ve had my hand in many key projects that have helped transform the business into the well-oiled machine it is today.
