Tyler Waaland

Owner

2023 – Present

While working at Kanvas by Katin, I recognized a lack of merchandise representing the local community. I designed and created unique shirts that foster a sense of community for both locals and tourists. Successfully enhanced sales by leveraging the opportunity to feature my designs on the sales floor, and achieved status as the top-selling product. • Since it was launched, sales have consistently increased month over month. • Transitioned and sold the brand to Kanvas by Katin in May 2025.
