Customania: Where Creativity Goes Wild

Hey, I’m Shoka—founder of Customania.
Born in Egypt, I chased the American dream all the way from Dubai to San Francisco. With nine years of custom apparel experience under my belt (and way too much caffeine), I launched Customania in July 2023 with one mission:
Make designing shirts as easy and fun as picking up groceries—and ten times more exciting.

Why Customania?

The name says it all: Custom meets mania—the craziness and passion you bring, mixed with the quality and speed you deserve.
Here, you don’t just buy a shirt—you help make it. Bring your idea, sketch, logo, or wildest concept. I’ll help you turn it into a wearable piece of art. We’re all about adding your touch.

What Makes Us Different

• Speed: You want it now? I get it done—often within 45 minutes. Seriously.

• Quality: I use only the best materials and hi-res DTF printing.

• Customer-first: I’ll tweak, edit, and brainstorm until you love the design.

• Vibe: There’s always house music playing in the shop. Creativity needs a soundtrack.

Whether you’re a local artist, tech founder, nonprofit, or just want a unique birthday gift, you’re welcome at Customania.

Our Favorite Moments

There’s no order too big or small. From “can you print this for my grandma’s birthday?” to last-minute emergencies like when Iniko’s team needed 100 shirts overnight for a sold-out SF show—we always deliver. The best part? That moment when a customer picks up their shirt and says,
“Oh my god, I wasn’t expecting it to be that good.”
That’s what keeps me going.

How It Works

Walk in or visit online.

• We chat about your vision.

• You show me your design or just your idea—I’ll handle the magic.

• I send you a quick preview (right on the screen).

• Approve it, and you can usually pick up your gear in less than an hour.

I obsess over the details so you don’t have to.

Giving Back

I believe in supporting the community—whether it’s discounting for nonprofits, helping out a new artist, or just being the place where local dreams get printed.
Special shoutout to Jimmy, my mentor, who taught me everything and still keeps me sharp.

Our Motto

Let’s create something together.

That’s more than a slogan—it’s an invitation.
Come by, blast some music, and let’s make your next favorite shirt, hoodie, hat, mug, or banner.

Fun Fact

If you hear house music bumping and someone singing off-key, that’s probably me.
At Customania, you get speed, quality, and chill vibes—always.

Thanks for supporting a local dreamer. Let’s create something epic—together.
