Our Story

BeWare Designs, formerly 2Ware4u, started off as a homegrown t-shirt company. V. was an artist in school and began painting t-shirts with fabric paint for friends and family as early as Middle School. After awhile friends became customers and the passion transformed into a business. Starting her business at 15, V. pursued a degree in Construction Management at Georgia Tech where she learned the technical advantages of tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in creating digital artwork. From there she expanded her repertoire, providing customers with custom graphics on clothing, digital logos, commissioned artwork, illustrations, home decor, and even furniture and footwear.

Our Vision

BeWare Designs, LLC is rooted in its Filipino and African-American culture, and celebrates all shades of black and brown collaborating to enhance, beautify, and inspire its community. We believe that success is the impact you have on others and the impression you leave behind when you’re no longer present. In everything we do, we strive to stay true, never stop learning, and stay rooted in the cultures that came before us.

Our Roots

Born in Lithonia, GA, V. has always had a passion for art, one she shares with her tight-knit family. Her grandmother, Brenda Ware, nurtured V.'s talent by teaching her the art of calligraphy at a young age. They shared several other artistic passions including painting, puzzle-solving, sewing, and gardening. V.’s grandmother was very influential in raising her, and after a full life of loving and living, her grandmother passed away due to a battle with Pancreatic Cancer in 2014. V. took the time to pay homage to Mrs. Ware and renamed her business BeWare Designs to continue her legacy and remind herself to always stay rooted in family.
