ass on the savings to you by covering all shipping costs! My name is Robert Rice, and I am the CEO and designer at Co-Ari Designs! What inspired the creation of Co-Ari Designs? It all started back when I was in high school, and I was always drawing. I would draw whatever came to me on whatever I happened to have lying around. Whether it was cartoon characters or anime, cars, steel portraiture, flowers, or something else, slowly but steadily, my artistic focus shifted to fashion and clothing designs. After graduating high school, I went to college to pursue a bachelor's degree. I was studying for my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design and Marketing, as well as having the option to study abroad at one of London's famous fashion design colleges or universities. After completing two years of college, I had to put my dream on hold due to family responsibilities. My mother and brothers needed my assistance at home, and as the oldest child, it seemed only natural for me to assist them. As the old saying goes, "family comes first," and I believe it wholeheartedly. Because where would we all be without our family? Fast forward a few years later, after everything was good at home. I went back to school for my bachelor's degree, not in fashion design but for my Business Administration degree. During my third year of college, I met my future wife. On the second go-around at college, I was having a tough time. I was mentally at a point where I couldn't finish college. But my soon-to-be wife gave me all the extra courage, ambition, and inspiration I needed to complete my bachelor's degree and pursue my dreams. After receiving my bachelor's degree, I did not pursue Co-Ari Designs. Until my wife and I learned we were expecting our first child, I realized I was going about things wrong by not putting my family first. Working a 9-to-5 job for one of the top Fortune 500 firms is awesome. However, it was hindering my time with my wife and son. So I had to act on my aspirations and bring Co-Ari Designs into existence. Especially if one of my dreams is to spend more time with my family rather than work for someone else. As a result, Co-Ari Designs was created and established in 2020. So did COVID, and I was not going to let COVID deter me from pursuing my dream.
