Local entrepreneur Hailey Nelson is a one-woman show as she juggles the life of being a wife, mom and business owner of her brand, Western and Co.
Working as a graphic designer for a few years, Nelson had completed contract work for large companies when she realized she wanted to design her own T-shirts.
“I’ve been searching for tees that fit my vintage and western style and after coming up short, I decided, ‘heck, I could do this,'” Nelson said.
From there, she jumped into a competitive market and created a clothing line catered to consumers with a country western style. Western and Co.’s T-shirt line launched in January and is an all-American based brand.
Starting her own business was not without its challenges as Nelson worked to create a larger consumer base for her products.
During the creation of her own business she turned to her favorite quote: “The only failure is quitting; everything else is just gathering information.”
