Ugmonk mission statement as it were, his about page on his website, explaining how it got into it, what he is trying to do and how it went.

Interesting to read as I design t-shirts celebrating the ampersand as he talks of creating a brand centred around his love of typography.

"It all started with a simple idea – design fresh high-quality unique items. Just one month after I had graduated college, married my high-school sweetheart, moved to Burlington, VT, and started a full-time design job, I found myself brainstorming about launching my own brand centered around my love for typography and minimal design. I felt like the design culture at the time was really lacking in this area, and apparently this design sensibility connected with many people all around the world. What started as an outlet for my passion and entrepreneurial experiment quickly grew into much more than just selling a few shirts.

Ugmonk didn’t start with a formal business plan and in fact I had very little background in business. Rather than following the “traditional” model of starting a business, I just tried to apply common sense and research to figure things out as they came up. I’ve found that the best way of learning is by doing."

T-SHIRTSS

These t-shirts are certainly typographic and do like some of them a lot, big character, in the face and impacting. There is an ampersand t-shirt as well that was striking as this is what I am focussing on, these pieces however are focussed on the 'and then i woke up', as in discussing a dream which inevitably ends in 'and then i woke up'.

Limited edition packaging and t-shirt.

Ugmonk designed this special limited edition t-shirt to celebrate its second year running, which becomes something worth even more value, limited edition, packaged with extra care and quality becomes so much more. These items show the shop in a very new light, and works really well. Good packaging, that is to the point, solid and special.

OTHER PRODUCTSS

Expanding on the products, pretty good idea to give ground to his designs. Really nice sketchbooks. I like the idea of including a smaller item/ product in with the t-shirt when people buy off of the website.
