Ballislife’s lead designer, Andy Fomai shares some insights behind the designs of our Spring 2021 collection.
“I made sure to offer a range of minimal to loud graphics” says Andy Fomai, “I do this to serve different audiences and age groups”.
All our graphic tees, hoodies and joggers are designed and printed in Southern California. Colors are custom and hand-mixed by our team. Each graphic has its own individual color offering with color patterns specific to the Spring season.
