During the COVID-19 pandemic, I lost my job and picked up sewing as a hobby. What started as an interest, turned into a full on business. I began posting my work, and luckily, people liked it. Liked it enough to even buy it. It started with commission work, and after about 100 orders, I finally turned it into a business. Paranoia Studios drew eyes of many social media influencers, athletes, celebrities, and ultimately grew into a loyal community of supporters. I used these opportunities to continue growing my social media presence. Paranoia Studios resulted in over 700 handmade orders, has been seen worn on GQ, XXL Magazine, and more, and ultimately resulted in following my dream career.
