Welcome to 11 Echos—a place where humor meets the open road, and a decade-old college project finally finds its voice.
The story of 11 Echos begins in a college classroom, where a simple assignment sparked an idea that never quite went away. We were tasked with creating a mock company and bringing it to market. The concept seemed perfect: a bumper sticker company dedicated to humorous puns and clever sayings. The project succeeded in class, earning recognition for its creativity and appeal. But when the semester ended, so did the venture—at least for a while.
For years, the idea sat in the back of my mind. As someone who's naturally introverted, the thought of putting my sense of humor out into the world felt daunting. It was easier to keep those witty sayings and pun-filled designs tucked away, shared only with close friends and family. But life has a way of shifting perspectives.
As the internet evolved and new platforms emerged, I realized something important: the barriers between creators and their audiences had changed. The world had become a place where introverts could express themselves authentically, without needing to be the loudest voice in the room. All it took was a willingness to share what made me laugh, what resonated with me, and what I genuinely believed others might enjoy.
That realization was the spark we needed. With all those ideas rattling around in my head—the clever wordplay, the humorous observations, the designs that made people smile—we decided it was time to bring 11 Echos to life. Not as a class project, but as something real. Something that could reach people who appreciate a good laugh, a clever turn of phrase, and the small moments of joy that come from designs and graphics that actually say something worth reading.
11 Echos is our way of sharing that sense of humor with the world. We hope that every shirt or hoodie, every design, and every pun brings a smile to your face and adds a little personality to day. Thank you for being here at the beginning of this journey.
