Our Story

I have a heart for the aspiring brand owner because I vividly remember the challenges I faced as a young designer myself. Starting from scratch, navigating the intricacies of the industry, and building a brand from the ground up were not easy feats. It was a journey that demanded immense dedication, countless hours of learning, and an unyielding passion for my craft.

Back then, I lacked resources and guidance, often feeling like a small fish in a vast ocean. But those very challenges ignited a fire within me. They pushed me to persevere, to seek knowledge, and to forge my path despite the odds. Now, as an established brand owner, I recognize the importance of support and mentorship for those who are taking their first steps.

This experience is why I feel deeply connected to aspiring brand owners. I understand the struggles they face and the dreams they hold. It's why I'm not just invested in my own success, but in lifting others along the way. I'm dedicated to offering the guidance, insight, and encouragement that I wish I had during my early days.

 

MEET THE DESIGNER

Krystal Lewis | Founder & CEO

Hi, my name is Krystal Lewis.  I come to the table with 17 years of industry experience with corporate leaders here in Dallas (Bioworld/Pinpoint Merchandising/Mad Engine/Haggar).  I have also visited some respected garment manufactures in Mexico, China, New York, and right here in Texas.  

I started out just like you - an aspiring designer with no clue how to make a clothing line. Armed with a design degree and a fiery determination to figure it out I worked my way up from design assistant to managing an entire design team before I eventually started my company, Black Unicorn Merchandising.

If you’ve found me you have probably attempted to start a clothing line and realized “whoa… this is hard.” Maybe you’ve found a manufacturer but they’ve turned you away because you are “not ready”. Either way - if you’ve found me I am ready to set you up for a successful design journey.
