Meet Liquan Cruz | Business Owner & Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Liquan Cruz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Liquan, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my business was that I just wanted to be a business owner honestly. I didn’t think it would be easy but I also never expected it to have as much challenges as I’ve faced so far. I just thought that I would be good at managing the operations of the business and by also running my own business I could be my own boss which made me happy

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I’d say what I’m most proud about when it comes to my business is the different designs and logos I come up with. I feel like the ideas are always an extension of myself or my thoughts so therefore I can really be submerged in my creative process for the business. I got where I am today through perseverance and undying support honestly. With this being said, no it wasn’t always easy to get this far. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been discouraged or just not been in the mood to deal with Sprag Apparel anymore. My friends randomly pushing me and showing they believe in me helped me to get more motivated and overcome these challenges because that extra support from an outside source just made me feel even better. I came to realize that I can’t be giving up so easily at any moment because I wanna make this into something worthwhile in a couple of years. I just want the world to know that no matter what gets in my way, I’m going to get everything I deserve and its going to be legendary so be on the look out for me. Like one of my favorite anime characters Naruto once said “Believe it!”

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I actually don’t have any favorite spots at this moment. Sorry to sound so boring here but I usually let my friends recommend the spots and go along with them. I wish I had more to say

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The people I’d like to give recognition to are my friends who have always been supportive of me and my business. Quan, Loraina, Xori, Nina, and even Deondra have supported me from the time they’ve met me. Every chance they get, they find ways to help or show love towards my business. I also have to thank all the customers or other people who have bought products from me or even just told people about my services.
