Jimmy Hendricks’s Experience

CEO/Co-Founder

Collar Free: www.collarfree.com

(Internet industry)

March 2007 — Present (1 year 9 months)

www.collarfree.com is a design and online retail clothing company where all of our designs are created and submitted by our design community. Our community consists of graphic designers and consumers interested in trendy and original clothing. All designs that go to print for sale are selected by our community. We are removing the development cost of fashion design and eliminating the risk of design selection. In addition we are creating a loyal customer base that indicates what they want to buy before it’s even created. Our designers are then paid a royalty for every deisgn that sells giving them an incentive or promote their design and a residual income opportunity.
