About Us

Meet La Shawn, 
Preppy Godmother

As a corporate recruiter, I spent years connecting hundreds of people to their dream jobs. I loved my career, but I really wanted to make a living doing what I’ve been passionate about since childhood: Making pretty things and making things pretty.
However, like many people, I kept my day job and lived for nights and weekends when I could freely indulge my creative talents. In my spare time, I always had some kind of project underway, such as making furniture or creating custom decor for events I hosted. 
A few years ago, I bought a Cricut machine so I could level-up my craft-making skills. Once I figured out how to use it, the groundwork for Preppy Socialite was laid. I started out selling tees and personalized items to friends, family members, and small businesses. Soon Preppy Socialite became a full-blown side hustle.  
Little did I know that my days of working for someone else were numbered. The coronavirus pandemic hit, my corporate recruiter job disappeared, and I decided it was time to go all in on Preppy Socialite. I’m so glad I did. 
Today Preppy Socialite is the place to shop for quality personalized items, custom shirts, and statement tees designed to appeal to trendsetters. If you’re fun, fabulous, and fly, welcome to the Preppy Squad!
