On today's BONUS episode of 'How'd She Do That?' Emily speaks with guest, Ivana George. Ivana is an Atlanta native and junior at Kennesaw State; she is also the heart and soul behind the eye-catching and encouraging apparel brand All The More.  Ivana's brand 'All The More Apparel' was birthed out of spontaneity, specifically on a night where Ivana couldn't find anything cute to wear to an event she was going to. She dreamed up a design for a great t-shirt and made it with some extra vinyl that she had at home, wore it to the event, and received better feedback than she could have ever expected. Each one of Ivana’s designs is handmade with love just for you! Be inspired by how Ivana dreams up her next design, what it's like to blow up on TikTok, and the behind-the-scenes of running a small business.
