Who or what is your inspiration in business?

The beginning of my adventure and designing jeans when Michael passed 2009 I had nothing to celebrate his homegoing I had no clothing t-shirts or anything with his name or face on it so I sat down and I designed my own jeans with just transfers of his pictures Damien John inspired me when I heard his read his story I watched his story about how he started at the mall passing out t-shirts and he ran into someone big or whatever and got known through that kind of process he encourage that someday

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by continuously designing and coming up with new custom jeans just selling them one design one size one pair at a time I do it on the corner at the swap meet once had the experience of a store front but I just never feel like I should give up just keep designing because people keep loving them I am the king of custom damjeanz actually the clients keep me motivated they love what I do and they give me little suggestions and just keep me inspired I will not stop

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take my $25,000 offer me up a warehouse and a small little storefront and keep on creating and designing damjeanz i could then really put my label on my jeans damjeanz which is actually my name Deborah Ann's magnificent jeans I know someday I will find someone who will love the sound and the designs of damjeanz and they will love to endorse my name
