Mephobia Designs, Who We Are?
Two chefs, one a graphic designer, one a writer, one a musician, one a non-musician, one an Artist, one a web-designer, both coming together with a love of designs and clothes to create a website and a couple of shops to share and sell their creations (see below for profiles).
We have being creating websites since 2011 and have combined our skills of marketing and design to create this site and set up a helpful successful business. We design very affordable websites using our professional wordpress experience keeping our prices low but quality high because we know this can be done and having a website these days should not be outrageously expensive as we see everywhere online.
We also create amazing logos, flyers, posters, lyric videos, animated videos for personal use or for small businessess, start ups, companies, anyone. Check out around our site and contact us today.
We also came across a few websites created by other designers selling t-shirts and other apparel and we decided that this was something we wanted to do too, looked like fun and after some research decided to use Spreadshirt and Merch as our platform and printer.
We also use Redbubble, Zazzle and Teespring but we love Spreadshirt because they have excellent reviews on the quality of their stock and printing, plus we found a course on Udemy called ‘How to Make Money With a Free eStore’ by Lisa Irby which is a brilliant step-by-step guide with videos to setting up a shop with Spreadshirt, highly recommended for anyone interested in learning how to set up a shop.
Why Mephobia? When we were looking for a name we wanted something fun, unique and weird and came across Mephobia which is beautifully described as ‘The fear of becoming so awesome that the human race can’t handle it and everybody dies’ crazy and fun so we chose this to be our brand name.
We now have two shops, one for the US market and one for the European market. With our designs (you can tell who is the graphic designer and who isn’t ha!) you can create with Spreadshirt, t-shirts, hoodies, jumpers, bandanas, pet bandanas, hats, aprons, phone covers etc the list or apparel is endless.
We can also design on request for t-shirts or for websites, send us a mail here if you would require any personal designs.
