If you have a fun idea for a T-shirt or other piece of clothing, Anna Pucciarelli can help you design it and put it on apparel as a unique way of showing your fun side – or serious side – if that’s what you need.

Anna, from Mark It Up By Anna, creates her own designs as well as helps customers if they have an idea. She brought her clothing and other items to the Vendors’ and Farmers’ Market at Keogh Park in Tottenham on Sunday, Aug. 24.

If you have a group going on a fun adventure or raising funds for a good cause, and you are putting a team together, having matching T-shirts is a great way to say you are part of a team.

“I focus on doing customer items like apparel, like hoodies, crew necks, and T-shirts, as well as custom drinkware from mugs to tupperware,” Anna explained. “A lot of the items I design are retro style.”

She not only creates her work, but she also gives back to the community that supports her.

“I focus on positivity and mental health,” Anna said of her design work. “I donate 10 per cent of my sales to York Simcoe CMHA for youth mental health, just to give back to the community. When I needed the help, I had the support and help, and not everyone is fortunate to have that.”

Anna specializes in making the designs for the shirts and printing them on different pieces of apparel.

“I do custom designs as well,” Anna explained of how she helps customers design special shirts. “People will have a design in their mind and let me know what they are looking for. I’ll put a design together for them and we work together to create it. I’ll put a design together and you can tell me what you would like added to it or removed.”

Anna sells her products at various markets as well as at some stores, including the Simcoe Makers Market Boutique in Alliston.

She also has her products on social media and will be at the Beeton Fall Fair.
