Meet the Main Mom!

Hey friend…welcome to my corner of the chaos!

I’m Melissa, the Main Mom behind Streamlined Ink.  After serving in the Army, 35 years in corporate finance jobs, raising my daughter, and finding love the second time around, I was ready for something different.  Something mine.  I’ve always said I took a wrong turn and should have been in marketing…I’m quite funny when I feel like it.  I’m a soft-hearted shit-talker who firmly believes moms make the world go round and we’ve earned those inside jokes.

When deciding what kind of t-shirts I wanted to design, I landed on two truths: they must be soft AF and make y'all laugh.  Or giggle.  Or at least crack a knowing smile.

Moms need shirts that represent us and fit our vibe. The exhausted us, the funny us, the over-it us, the sentimental us, and the if-one-more-person-needs-something-I’m-going-feral us.  I couldn’t find tees I wanted to wear that didn’t come from Buc-ee’s (IYKYK) so I started designing them.  After months of learning new tools, cussing at midnight while gulping my last drop of sangria, the vision finally started to look like tee collections.

What You’ll Find Here

⚙️Designs with grit, sass, and motherhood truth
⚙️Collections that match your mood
⚙️High-quality tees printed in the USA

Whether you’re a Softball Mom, Stage Mom, Zombie Mom, or just trying to survive Daylight Savings, my hope is you find something that feels like you.  If not, come back later to see the New Ink or drop me a note and let me know what theme speaks to you.  If your comment inspires me to design a collection, I will dedicate it to you in all your glory.

A Little More About Me

I’m a mom, wife, traveler, creator, and chronic over-thinker who survives on:

  • homemade caramel lattes and sangria,
  • sarcasm,
  • sanity walks between tee research spirals,
  • and the occasional realization that my teen daughter really does still like me.

If you see yourself in any of my tees… then girl, we’re already friends.  So come find me on socials @streamlinedink!
