Product Design: Harbor Hopping on the Great Lakes

​You know how people talk about getting their best ideas while taking a shower or doing something completely unrelated to the random thought that popped into their mind? That's what happened to me! I was going about my morning routine when suddenly, "Harbor Hopping" popped into my head. It was at the time when I was just starting to design print-on-demand products. I was trying to think of what I would be comfortable displaying on the things I wear so I guess it's not completely random but it was definitely surprising! And then "Great Lakes" came to me. "Hmmmm....I wonder if Larry would be willing to wear something with this phrase on it." I wondered. He said, "YES!" I quickly proceeded to design a printed sweater and an embroidered hat.

It completely relates to how we spend our summers on the boat. Whether it's planning for a quick weekend trip across Lake St. Clair to Belle River or extended travel to places like Bayfield, Ontario and beyond, we love settling in at new harbors. If the idea of exploring small harbor towns around the great lakes excites you too, then maybe these designs are for you! "Harbor Hopping on the great lakes." It just makes me smile. :-)
