Every shirt tells a story. This is mine.

​

AF Design Studios didn’t start in a studio.
It started with a heart that had had enough.

​

After decades of working long hours, juggling responsibilities, managing stress, raising four amazing kids, and navigating autism in the family, my body said no more.

Atrial fibrillation.
Loud, Sudden, Unignorable.

It wasn’t just a health scare.
It was a wake-up call.

​

Because truth is — I was Tired AF, Stressed AF, and Drained AF!​

​

I was surviving, not living, working late to make ends meet, spinning plates,  sacrificing sleep, sanity, and self for the safety net of a “steady job” — one that stole my time and never fed my spirit.

​

The corporate world sold me a dream, what I got was loss of time, ill health, and burnout.

​

So I looked for a way out.
A side hustle, sure — but not just for money.
For meaning, for freedom, for something real.

That’s when I created AF Design Studios.

This isn’t just a brand, it’s a release valve.

​

I’m an introvert with a loud mind, the kind that never shuts up. I’ve always loved creativity, deep thought, and the strange beauty of late-night ideas that never see daylight. This project? It’s me finally giving those ideas a home.

​

Now, I put words on T-shirts, but not just any words, each shirt is a statement, sharp, simple, and real AF.

Words that hit home, Tees that say;

“This is me, and I’m not hiding myself from anyone.”

​​​​

Based in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, right in the heart of the creative grind — not the polished, Pinterest kind, but the raw, real kind. The kind built on late nights, low budgets, and big dreams.

​

This place has history in its bones — old warehouses turned studios, concrete walls echoing with new ideas. It’s where the paint never fully dries, and the coffee never stops brewing. The Creative Campus is more than a name — it’s a living, breathing ecosystem of artists, designers, DJs, tattooists, coders, chefs, misfits, and makers. People who ditched the rulebook, people like me.

​

You walk these streets and feel it — the hustle. The stubborn hope. The don’t-wait-for-permission energy.
Every door you open might be a gallery, a workshop, or a startup born from someone’s personal apocalypse.

​

We’re not here chasing trends.
We’re here to make noise.

To be loud AF, proud AF, original AF — together.
