Alecia Miller, Fem Fat Fun
Alecia Miller, creative genius of Fem Fat Fun, prides herself on being authentic and inclusive. This fast-growing brand came to life in late 2018 and is feminist in nature, body positive at its core and filled with strong opinions. Started as an avenue to share a message with the world about the current political climate, Alecia’s work has grown into so much more. After struggling to find tees that were available in a wide range of sizes, it became a hard and fast rule that all offerings are available in sizes 4X-XS and sold at the same price, regardless of size.
Born and raised in rural Ohio before transplanting to Fort Wayne, Alecia was thrilled to find her place in this community. Married young and raising two kids with her nesting partner Chris - this life is what dreams are made of. Their house is filled with animals, alt rock, and acceptance. Someday, she hopes to view herself as an artist, but for the time being she’ll just stick to making tees that make your mom blush.

After many careers, Lara, looked to work more creatively, created Fortitude Dance Designs. For over a decade she made competitive, highly ornate, Irish dance costumes with clients worldwide.

Joey
Hi everyone, my name is Joey! I'm a Graphic Designer based out of Indiana. I love creating artwork and graphics for promotional work and concept based projects. I have a passion for Esports and gaming and strive to create engaging visuals that help to bring those experiences to life. In addition to my digital art skills, I also have experience in other mediums such as photography and traditional art. I love the ability to capture the essence of a moment with a single click or to translate emotions onto paper through ink.
I'm currently studying at Purdue Fort Wayne University to expand my skills and knowledge in the art and design field. I believe that pursuing this degree will not only improve my technical abilities but also broaden my perspective and introduce me to new creative techniques and practices. I'm here to help bring your vision to life, one pixel at a time.
