About Us

Welcome to Hot Mess Ink Press—where creativity meets chaos (in the best way).

Hi! My name is Diana and I'm the founder of Hot Mess Ink Press—a proud boy mom, former nurse, and full-time creative chasing big dreams with my favorite little crew. I started this shop in 2023 as a way to channel my creativity and support my family while still having the flexibility to be a present mom and actively navigate the joys and challenges that come with raising a family in a neurodiverse household.

Hot Mess Ink Press began as a creative outlet and quickly grew into something bigger than I ever imagined. We now offer a beautiful mix of handmade and custom items—including apparel, stickers, drinkware, even DTF prints, and more—all created with love by real people... by US.

🖤 Real-Life, Real Messy, Really Fun

We're a family-owned biz through and through. My husband and kiddos are a huge piece of Hot Mess Ink Press and truly wouldn't exist without them. Especially when you know our love for local pop-up events. If you see us at a local market, chances are we setup as a family and will tear down as a family. It's not easy, but it's our life and we love it. Plus, we cannot pass up opportunities to connect face-to-face with our amazing customers and local community.

💪 Built with Purpose

Hot Mess Ink Press is more than a shop—it's a way to stay present with my kids, honor my creative passions, and inspire others to pursue their dreams. Whether you're ordering something custom, grabbing a tee to express your unique style, or stocking up on DTF prints for your own biz—I'm so so thankful you're here.
