This year has felt surreal. The amount of love, support, and trust everyone has shown me and HOTR Co. has been something I never could’ve imagined. Every message, every order, every custom request, every person who chose to work with me, it’s meant more than I can put into words.
Because of the incredible support and the huge wave of projects that came in these past few months, I’ve officially hit full capacity. With the holidays coming up and the amount of work already on my plate, I won’t be able to take on any more quotes, bids, or new jobs for the rest of this year.
This isn’t me complaining, not even close. This is me realizing how far this brand has grown, how many people believe in what I’m building, and how grateful I am that so many of you trust me with your ideas, your businesses, your visions, and your projects.
I’m emotional writing this because none of this happens without you.
Thank you for every bit of support, truly.
Thank you for helping HOTR Co. grow into something bigger than I ever expected.
I appreciate every single one of you.
Here’s to finishing strong, resting up, and coming back in the new year even better. 🔥🖤
Have a very Grim Christmas!
