It pains me to see the negative images and stereotypes that depict our community so I created a brand to challenge those notions.

Hi loves. Thanks so much for stopping by. April State Designs is a collection of unique, timeless artwork tailored to black men, women, and children. Inspired by my own life experiences, I saw the need to create a brand that was inspiring, affordable, eductational, and classic. It pains me to see the negative images and stereotypes that depict our community so I created a brand to challenge those notions. I hope you enjoy your stay. Every piece is designed by me but I occassionally incorporate licensed stock images or clipart from other talented artists. Be sure to check back often to see what new designs we've added to the collection. Just click on the "Shop" links located in the top or bottom menus.

Remember every day is a gift! Live the life of your dreams. The only day promised was yesterday.

It truly warms my heart to see my art displayed in the special places in your lives. Thank you for supporting my small, black-owned business. #kisses
