Life & Work with Bryan Symansic
Today we’d like to introduce you to Bryan Symansic.
Hi Bryan, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I’m Bryan Symansic and I’m outdoorsy and artsy-fartsy. I was born and raised in Michigan, and I’ve spent two decades designing t-shirts, logos, advertising, concert posters, beer labels, and other cool stuff. I grew tired of working for other people and always wanted to create my own clothing brand and work for myself. I created The Michigan Outfitter clothing brand to be creative and cool on quality garments. Now I’m living my dream and wholesaling to stores all around the State.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been a smooth road. I wish I would have started sooner.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I really take pride in making eye-catching unique graphics. Not simple block letters on a cheap shirt. I try to my each graphic look like art you would want to hang on your wall. My graphics get copied all the time, but what I love is that the good stores that carry my product know who made the original design and don’t buy the knockoffs.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Making the most with the least amount of effort and time. My goal is to thrive without killing myself in the process. I want to enjoy career and enjoy my life every day. That is why I started this, so I wouldn’t work 7 days a week in a factory like my dad before me.
