OUR STORY
Akellia Ke'Ara Stewart - Shoe Designer & Customizer
Hello! My name is Akellia Ke'Ara Stewart, and I am a passionate shoe designer and customizer. I am also a proud mother to a beautiful son. For the past 15 years, I've been living my dream as a "shoe-preneur," creating unique and artistic footwear that reflects my love for design and creativity.
About CustomsByAk
CustomsByAk is my custom shoe company, where I transform ordinary shoes into extraordinary works of art. My clients have the exciting choice of designing their own theme or allowing me to freestyle a design tailored to their personal style and interests. My freestyle designs have become my signature, known for their creativity and originality. I often incorporate unexpected elements such as grass, flowers, and various objects to bring each shoe to life.
Changing Soles One Shoe At A Time
What truly sets CustomsByAk apart is our commitment to giving back. My mission is to make a positive impact on the world, one shoe at a time. "Changing Soles One Shoe At A Time" is not just a slogan; it represents my dedication to helping others, particularly children, express themselves through art.
My Journey
My journey into the world of custom shoe design began with a challenge from a good friend who played in the NFL. He encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and create a custom shoe for him. Since then, I haven't looked back. Over the past eight years, I've traveled to various places and have had the honor of showcasing my designs at numerous events. I've created custom shoes for athletes and celebrities, each piece a testament to my dedication and passion.
Giving Back
The opportunity to serve a bigger cause has been incredibly rewarding. I am committed to providing children with a safe space to express their feelings and concerns through art. "Changing Sole One Shoe At A Time" is about more than just footwear; it's about changing the way children find their voice and express themselves creatively.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey and my passion. I invite you to explore the unique designs at CustomsByAk and join me in making a difference, one shoe at a time.
