In a world where personal expression often takes center stage, finding the perfect outlet for showcasing individuality can be a quest in itself. For Katrina, the founder of Dye to Design, this journey began with a simple desire for cute and quirky shirts adorned with unique designs and phrases. Yet, unable to find exactly what she was looking for, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
As Katrina delved deeper into this world, she discovered the power of personalized apparel as a means of self-expression. From crafting her own images to printing photographs and logos, each creation became a canvas for her imagination to run wild. With each design, she reveled in the joy of bringing ideas to life and transforming ordinary garments into wearable works of art.

Q&A Session with Katrina, owner of Dye to Design:
1. Basic Information Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and the story behind Dye To Design?How long have you and your family lived in the area, and what inspired you to start your business here?
As a new mom with a newborn at home, I craved an outlet for my creativity. Little did I know that this desire would lead me to embark on a journey that would not only fulfill my passion but also touch the lives of others in profound ways. Thus, Dye to Design was born, initially as a hobby but soon blossoming into something much more meaningful.
Growing up in the mountainous regions to the east, I witnessed the rapid expansion of our town. However, it was in the vibrant community of Temecula that I found my true calling. Here, amidst the bustling energy, I met my husband and began to lay down roots. Over the course of a decade, we built our family, creating memories and forging connections that would shape the trajectory of my entrepreneurial venture.
2. Inspiration and Passion: What sparked your passion for creating custom apparel and accessories? Out of all the creations you’ve made so far, which one is your favorite and why?
The spark that ignited Dye to Design came from a simple desire for cute and quirky shirts adorned with unique designs and phrases. Unable to find exactly what I was looking for, I decided to take matters into my own hands. As I delved deeper into the world of design, I discovered the endless possibilities at my fingertips – from crafting my own images to printing photographs and logos. Each creation became a canvas for my imagination to run wild, and I reveled in the joy of bringing ideas to life.
3. Family and Business Integration: How do you balance being a mom with running a successful business? In what ways do your family and community inspire the work you do at Dye To Design?
Amidst the hustle and bustle of running a business and raising two daughters – one of whom is a dedicated soccer player and the other a spirited toddler – finding balance is paramount. Working from home afforded me the flexibility to be present for my girls while pursuing my entrepreneurial dreams. It’s a delicate dance of early mornings, late nights, and stolen moments in between soccer practices and family outings. But in this chaos, I’ve found a rhythm that allows me to thrive both personally and professionally.
4. Business Goals and Offerings: What is your ultimate goal for Dye To Design, and how do you envision its future? Can you give us an overview of the types of products customers can order from you? Are there any limitations to the customization options available?
One of the most rewarding aspects of my journey has been the opportunity to collaborate with fellow small business owners, guiding them on their path to success. Whether it’s designing a logo or creating custom merchandise, I take pride in being a catalyst for their growth and prosperity.
We specialize in personalized apparel, tumblers, car decals, hats, and guess what? No order minimums!
5. Looking Ahead: What new offerings or projects can your customers look forward to in the upcoming months? How do you stay innovative and keep your designs fresh and exciting for your clients?
Setting and surpassing goals has been a driving force behind the evolution of Dye to Design. From surviving the crucial first year of business to investing in state-of-the-art printing technology, each milestone fuels my ambition to push further and reach new heights. As I look towards the future, my sights are set on expansion and innovation, with a steadfast commitment to delivering unparalleled quality and service to my customers.
