Welcome to OlaKemiThreads!!
Ola & Kemi got married in 2014 and welcomed their first child, a boy in 2016. In 2018 we were blessed beyond words with another addition of a girl.
Kemi was teaching while Ola still works his 9-5. But, our goal is to have our business replace Ola's job to help support our little family.
Our business name, OlaKemiThreads reflects how we intend to use threads (NOT INK) for graphic designs. We enjoy seeing the result of our thought processes. Especially when we both are self taught designers and embroidery specialist.
We love to DIY what we use in our home from our children body lotion to the bread we eat. Ola enjoys watching movies that challenges the way things are, example HOUSE OF CARDS. He also enjoys working on car engines.
We started our home based business in 2017, running a Christian T shirt company called "LivingWordz.” We were not satisfied with the prints we were delivering to our customers, we were looking for something that is uncommonly unique, that can stand out from the crowd, which lead us to embroidery.
We were able to purchase an embroidery machine in January of 2020. With the equipment we now can create any kind of embroidery on anything we can lay our hands on!
Due to the fact that we run our business out of our basement together as a team (just the two of us), we do not have the overhead costs most larger businesses have. This helps us keep our prices competitive with top quality material.
I always heard it was a bad idea to work with your spouse but our business has only brought us closer and helped us realize our individual strengths! While Ola does most Design creation, Embroidery, Packaging and Shipping, Kemi manages our price points, creative new ideas, and customer service.
Along with our listings we offer personalized products you create. Feel free to message us with your great ideas and we will be happy to send you a quote.
We started OlaKemiThreads so that we can help our children more at home. In 2019 Kemi transitioned to a Working/Stay-at-Home Mom and we welcomed our third little one into our lives!
Our journey has had A LOT of wild twists and turns, many we never imagined but we wouldn't have it any other way! God is good! : )
