Behind daniel(ink.)
This is my online store of original designs created by me, Daniel Pavlovic. I didn’t set out to be a t-shirt designer - I really wanted to be a comedian - but, back in the day, I drew a couple of designs for a screen-printing project at TAFE, put one of them on a t-shirt, and, as they say, the rest is history.
My business has literally given me a whole new direction in life, a new focus – did I mention I have Cerebral Palsy?
CP affects the muscles in my legs and hands. I’ve had corrective muscle surgery numerous times, I’ve worn plastic splints for years, I have to exercise daily, I’ve stretched and stretched, and I’ve pretty much had botox everywhere. I also have a personal trainer, a physiotherapist, and see a psychologist. I mostly get around in my wheelchair, but I also have a gopher, a walking frame, walking sticks, and hand controls for driving in my car. I tell you, it’s a full time job having CP!
Don’t get me wrong, life may be a challenge, but I am enjoying that challenge! Which brings me to giving something back.
From day one, it has been so important to me that I am able to give back to those who have helped me throughout my journey. This is why I am so proud that my business, daniel(ink.), donates 10% of all profits to Ability WA.
In addition, my promise to you is my original designs on high quality, ethically-sourced, 100% cotton clothing which are screen-printed and embroidered in Perth, Western Australia.
