Today we’d like to introduce you to Justice Marley.
Justice, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My love for creativity has always been strong, there was no limit for me, I’ve always enjoyed creating, whether it was cooking, writing or designing. Knowing that I could make other people happy just by doing something I enjoy is a delightful feeling. As a multi-creative person, I needed to decide where I felt the most passion in order to turn it into a business. I decided to attend FIDM, The Fashion Institute Of Design and Merchandising, where I learned and fell in love with multiple things such as graphic designing, sewing, and even the business side of things, at that moment the light bulbs went off and I decided that I wanted to start my brand. More Justice!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It’s been a nice ride so far, I’ve most definitely had and still have struggles but there’s a lesson in everything.
When I don’t have time to screenprint on my own I give the project to a shop but everything else is me. Web design, customer service, marketing, social media, right down to shipping, and handling, so you can imagine the struggles but I’m all here for them because I rather learn from the struggles than to have absolutely no idea how things should be done. As I learn I grow!

Yes, there are definitely supporters and cheerleaders!
