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

Hi Shandale, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I’ve always wanted to be my own boss, working for myself. I have always had a passion for fashion. So when the pandemic began, I started making mask and from then on I created wonderful designs/creations

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Right now I create custom Fur boots. I’ve seen other Fur boot designers, but no one has Versatility like me. I’m able to take a brand new plan pair of boots and turn it into a masterpiece. I got to where I am by staying consistent and never giving up. It wasn’t easy but most success isn’t. Kept creating and styling. I sent a couple of my boots to local artist/rappers and the feedback was awesome. I’ve learned that success is obtainable If you never give up, defeat is stronger but you are stronger. I would want people to know that I a all about custom I love being unique and not like everyone else. The work I provide is quality and you won’t be disappointed. Dare to be different. It’s okay to be a rare breed.

My kids are my inspiration, they motivate me and keep me going even when I wanna give up. And God I want to thank God for all he has done, I wouldn’t be able to do this without him
