I’m from Greensboro, North Carolina, and I’m the middle child with a twin sister and a younger sister. I started Tripp’s Ties when I was 13 because I wanted ties that I actually enjoyed wearing instead of just the generic ones. With the help of my mom and some other amazing people, we set out to design sharp, unique ties that stand out and feel special.

This business has already taught me so much — like how to connect with customers, how to sell in a way that feels genuine, and how to make things right when mistakes happen. Looking ahead, I hope to see Tripp’s Ties continue to grow and be carried in stores all across the country. Thank you for supporting me on this journey!
