Darnell Brown is the Founder and Chief Creative officer of Nelly Bloom and he’s my guest this week,
Nelly Bloom is a quirky lifestyle brand that makes bold graphic tees and he’s put in a lot of effort to define and target exactly the market he wants to reach.
From my first contact with Darnell, I could sense the energy he has put behind his brand and in talking with him his passion for what he’s doing now and the direction he wants to take his company really shines through brightly.
I learned so much from Darnell because he reads a LOT and really has taken the time to educate himself about business and things that intrigue him so he was dropping all kinds of “knowledge bombs” on me and I loved!!
