You wouldn't guess it, but if you pair two analysts -- one with a Department of Defense agency and the other working in network security -- you'd get Little Lessons Tees, an online T-shirt business specializing in positive statements.
Married analyst couple Chris and Jada Williams happen to be parents of a toddler and started their business of selling youth T-shirts last year.
"We found it difficult to find uplifting T-shirts for our son (Jacob, presently age 3), so I started sketching out designs that we would like to see on our child and messages for other kids," says Chris. "We hope that each T-shirt acts as a lesson to teach little ones ... while also sparking a conversation between parents and children."
The business is run out of the couple's Ellicott City home. Chris designed the titles and graphics on the colorful shirts, which include statements such as "Think Positive," "1 of A Kind," "Stand Out From the Crowd," "Trust & Believe" and "Follow Your Heart."
The shirts, which cost $12.99, are made of 100 percent cotton preshrunk jersey and come in youth sizes small, medium and large.
