We had the good fortune of connecting with Emilia Gabriela Enser and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Emilia Gabriela, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I’ve always been creative and I like personalizing everything. I’m a detail oriented person and I believe the beauty in life is in the smallest things. I like to inspire others and to spread good vibes. I like everything colorful and vibrant. I’ve been designing colorful hearts with words inside since I was a teenager and my forever dream was to one day have my own clothing brand with my designs. During the pandemic I decided to try to fulfill my dream. I didn’t have the resources to invest into buying machines and merchandise to help me make my cloths the way I wanted so I started learning about print on demand companies that would serve as my producer without having to pay everything up front (of course that also meant the earnings would be just a small percentage but at least I would be able to start following my dream). Then I decided to add jewelry that was unique and lightweight, mainly earrings. And little by little I’m getting many other accessories to be part of my shop.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Our brand was created with hopes, dreams, hard work, dedication and passion. It is still kind of new and as every beginning is not easy. Being a small business owner makes you wonder if all the efforts are worth it and at the end of the day the answer is yes. I’m a believer and a dreamer and I know I’m in the right path. Success takes time and I already consider myself successful because I’m chasing a dream. I get to go to bed every night wit my I-pad to design. I have my boys watching all the things I do to make our brand be known. They appreciate my efforts and they help in the process. They see me try, they see me celebrating every sale, every new follower and client and I know they are proud of me.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Miami is full of good vibes and fun. From the beautiful beaches, the amazing shopping places and the great restaurants, you can have it all! I like to see the palm trees while driving or walking. I like that we have residential areas of gorgeous houses and lots of green and then places with tall buildings with big balconies and ocean view.
My favorite mall to walk around and feel I’m on vacation is the Villas of Merric Park and if I want to shop I prefer Dadeland Mall or Sawgrass Mills.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My supporters and inspiration are my husband and 2 boys. Everything in my brand has a meaning and my sons are also the reason of our brand name and colors. UNME mean the U(you) are N’ (in) ME. You are in my heart. So every word we have in our hearts represent a name, passion or hobby. Those 4 letters are also the initials of my boys names and middle names. And I use their favorite colors in the logo. The MIAMI part of our brand has to do with this beautiful city were we live and our colorful, vibrant and bold designs reflect the Miami life.
