Building a Legacy, One Shirt at a Time

Leoragi Designs isn't just a business—it's a dream 30 years in the making.

Hi, I'm Leo, the founder of Leoragi Designs. I became a single father at 15 years old. While most teenagers were worrying about homework and weekend plans, I was figuring out how to raise a child and build a future, with the help of my Grandma—who raised me to be the man I am today—and my family who supported me 100%.

I spent over 30 years working with computers and software—it paid the bills and gave my kid stability. But deep down, I always had a passion for drawing and designing. It was always there, in the back of my mind, waiting for the right moment.

In 2020, while working 12-hour shifts, 7 days a week at a job that wasn't making me happy (like so many of us), I finally pulled the trigger. I started Leoragi Designs.

Now, I'm married to someone who supports this dream, and together we're building something meaningful—not just for us, but for our future and our family.

The name "Leoragi" comes from a nickname I had when I was younger—something only a few very close friends and my kids understand. It's actually inspired by a Japanese anime I loved growing up. That passion for art, storytelling, and design? It's been with me since I was a kid. Now it's the name on every shirt, every design, every order.

How It All Started

I didn't go to art school. I went to school for computers and software, and I spent three decades in that world.

But I never stopped drawing. I never stopped designing. And when I finally had the chance to turn that passion into something real, I took it.

I started with a heat press, a lot of YouTube tutorials, and a vision. Today, Leoragi Designs is my full-time focus, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Why Choose Leoragi Designs?

✨ Quality Over Everything

We don't cut corners. Ever.

For t-shirts, I use Bella Canvas 99.9% of the time—soft, durable, and built to last. For sweatshirts and hoodies, I go with Gildan Soft style or lightweight cotton because they feel great and hold up wash after wash.

Our DTF (Direct to Film) printing creates vibrant, long-lasting designs that won't crack, fade, or peel.

If I wouldn't wear it myself or give it to my family, I won't sell it to you.

🎨 Your Vision, Our Craft

From swim teams to nurse squads, from family reunions to inside jokes—we bring your ideas to life.

Custom orders are made right here in our Houston studio. You get three free mockup options, and we refine until it's perfect. No design fees unless you're asking for something completely from scratch (and even then, it's only $15-20).

For our pre-made collections, we partner with trusted production partners to ensure quality and fast delivery—but every design is still created by me, with the same care and attention.

🏠 Houston Based, Family Owned

I'm based right here in Houston, Texas. This is a family-owned business, and every customer is treated like family.

When you order from Leoragi Designs, you're supporting a dream that started with a single dad at 15, worked through 30 years of "just paying the bills," and finally became real.

👨👧👦 Family First, Always

This business exists because I refused to give up on the dream. And now, with the support of my wife and family, we're building something that matters.

You're not just another order number. You're part of the Leoragi story.
