"In 2012, when I was 14 years old, I was introduced to a game called MX Simulator by some friends. The game itself was fun, but my favorite part was the customization it offered. Shortly after learning to play the game, I started teaching myself to create decals for in-game use.

I continued doing that for about a year until I realized I could make actual decals for my dirt bike. I began teaching myself how to use Illustrator. Initially, I only designed decals for my bike and for a few friends, while another shop handled the printing. It remained a hobby for those couple of years. When I turned 16 and secured my first job in graphic design for a local MX company, I learned how to print the decals and operate all the necessary machines independently.

After three years, I moved to Florida for a year at the age of 19, acquired my own equipment, and launched Elite Decal. Business gradually picked up and kept me occupied for the subsequent few years. However, in late 2020 and 2021, I faced challenges with my machines. Coupled with the pandemic affecting business, I eventually experienced burnout and transitioned to another career path for 2 1/2 years. Throughout this time, I felt disheartened watching what I had built come to an end.

After much consideration and driven by my passion for this business and industry, I find myself relaunching Elite Decals today. I believe that over the last 10+ years, I've gained valuable experience in both the industry and life in general, enabling me to approach things more effectively this time and ensure the sustainability of the business. To everyone who has supported me in the past and will continue to do so in the future, I am sincerely grateful.“
