We had the good fortune of connecting with Taylor Mitchell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taylor, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I was born and raised in Queens, New York—a place that has profoundly shaped me both personally and professionally. When people think of New York, they often envision the relentless hustle and bustle. While it may sound cliché, it’s undeniably true. That spirit of hustle is ingrained in me, making my journey into entrepreneurship and owning multiple businesses a natural progression.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I self-taught myself design and e-commerce, discovering a passion for creating products from scratch. I named my clothing line after my neighborhood, honoring the inspirations of my upbringing. By blending my education, hustle, and personality, I’ve built a brand that reflects my roots and values.
