Welcome to Be Proud Designs!
Your go-to destination for bold, funny, and fearless t-shirts that say exactly what you're thinking (even if it's a little salty). We believe your clothes should speak for you, spark a smile, and show off your personality without saying a word. Our designs are all about self-expression—whether that means sarcasm, pride, humor, or just being unapologetically you.
Every design is created with thought, attitude, and a whole lot of heart. We’re here for the loud laughers, the quiet rebels, the proud weirdos, and everyone in between. No matter what you stand for—or stand against—you’ll find something here that fits your vibe.
So throw on a tee that tells your story.
Be bold. Be funny. Be proud.
My name is Scott — a proud gay U.S. Navy veteran, born in Michigan and now calling Minnesota home.
Life hasn’t always been easy. I’ve faced rejection from the people who should have been my safest place. I’ve carried truths I didn’t ask for, and I’ve had to find my own way forward without the closure many people take for granted.
But I’ve learned something along the way: our past can shape us, but it doesn’t have to define us.
Today, I pour my energy into creating designs that celebrate pride, resilience, and belonging — because I know what it’s like to fight for those things. My collections reflect the communities, places, and passions that inspire me, and each one is built with the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen.
This brand isn’t just about shirts — it’s about showing up as yourself, unapologetically.
