About Me

 

Hey there! Welcome to Cuntees!

My name is Teresa—I'm a 34-year-old mama of two boys living life in Bellevue, NE. I wanted to start a business that's fun, uncensored, and cute. Something different. A specific niche that I wasn’t really seeing other companies focus on.

How did it all start?

Back in 2020—the Covid days—I was working in childcare, which I loved. I’m young at heart and definitely not too “professional,” so childcare let me be creative and just… myself. I loved coloring, crafting, painting, and coming up with fun ideas, so it was a perfect fit for me. Difficult? Yes. But well worth it.

Then, in 2021, my dad passed away due to Covid, and just four months later, my mom passed due to heart issues. Sometimes I think of it as her having a broken heart. My parents had been married for 30+ years and lived in my childhood home.

After that, I quit my job for a while to tie up loose ends and grieve. I moved into my childhood home, where I now raise my kids. It’s heartwarming and almost unbelievable at times. Nothing hits you like a ton of bricks quite like unexpected grief. I always pictured my parents seeing my children graduate, get married… all the big milestones. But life doesn’t always turn out the way you imagine. Life is real, it’s here, and you only get one chance at it.

So I gave myself some time to figure out what actually made me happy and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

How it came to life…

I spent months melting into my bed, dealing with grief, and asking myself what I’d done with my life so far—and what I wanted the rest to look like. I realized I needed something that let me be myself: creative, happy, and, hopefully, successful someday.

I brainstormed, researched, and thought… and thought some more. Then I stumbled on how to create tees: the equipment, the tools, the process, the knowledge—basically how not to have zero clue what you’re doing. It took some self-confidence, reassurance, and a big push to stop fucking overthinking and just go for it.

I knew I wanted to create tees that were fun, bold, and a little “out there.” After trial and error (and a lot of learning), I figured out how to bring my ideas to life. When it came time to name Cuntees, I hesitated. But I loved it. It matched the brand I wanted to create perfectly. So I said, fuck it, I’m doing it.

What’s happening now…

I launched Cuntees in June of 2024 with zero idea how to market or get the word out. (That’s probably something I should’ve researched more—lesson learned.) But I’m so proud of where Cuntees is today, and I can’t believe how far it’s come.

I love creating tees that customers like you will love. I’ve always, always been a tee shirt girl—you just can’t go wrong with a good fuckin’ tee. You can style it so many ways, and there’s a design for everyone’s personality.

So here I am: nurturing Cuntees from an idea into something real. We’re still in the “baby stage,” but I’m enjoying every minute of this whole process. My goal is to create tees that put smiles on faces and give you a product you’ll enjoy for a long time.

Thank you so much for supporting my small business and helping my dreams come true. It means the world.
