About Gusto Graphic Tees

Hi, my name is Kelli and I co-own Gusto Graphic Tees along with my wife, Amy. The journey began in 2016 when I followed my dream, literally, by quitting my graphic design job to start designing/screen printing t-shirts. In a dream I had of my dad, who had recently passed away, he kept repeating, “Go for the Gusto, Kelli.” With the help and support of Amy, I was able to transition into this creative adventure that my soul needed and I get to go for the Gusto everyday. In 2023, Amy retired after 28 years of teaching and now we’re going to go for the gusto together and make our dreams come true! We are a local Austin, LGBTQ+/women-owned business that designs and screen prints t-shirts that are primarily Austin and Texas themed. In addition to t-shirts, we’ve added stickers, drinkware, hats, bags, can coolers, and now laser engraved wood and leather products. We are so happy to be doing what we love and we hope that everyone has the opportunity to follow their own gusto and make their dreams come true!Read their story
