Hello my name is Que the "RebelLion" Richardson and I am a designer. I was born in San Diego, CA and have had the opportunity to explore many parts of the world through my experiences with the US armed services. In the armed services I had the privilege to experience small business commerce and marketing by exploring bazaars and swap meets all over the world. I was inspired by the craft designers and creators that made their products with whatever resources were available. When I was thirteen years old I designed a bag that was specifically sufficient for a young butch lesbian such as myself, I even designed a logo that represented the rebellious teen. At the age of thirteen I was on the cusp of figuring out who I was and carrying a purse was not in my future, but backpacks were just too big for what I need to carry. I dread stuffing my pockets with lip balm, wallet, keys, 'and if you were a teenager in the 90's a black book' or cellphone. If you were a butch lesbian with a curvy figure stuffing you pocket made you seem disproportioned and don't get me started on the cargo pants craze. At age thirteen I was fascinated with the urban drama created by Dick Wolf called "New York Undercover." That show made me want to be a detective, mainly because of the holster look of a detective, was much cooler than a traffic cop. But another light had gone off in my head to create a bag that was just as cool and stealth as the gun holster. I designed a prototype from card board and kept the original design that I drew safe in my possession for many year. By the age of sixteen I graduated high school and had no clues as to where I wanted my future to go. Now over twenty years later I have worked in Business Administration, the Military, and I spent fifteen years as a Chef. In August of 2015 I decided I had enough of doing things I was no longer passionate about. I decided that I was going to take 2016 and the years ahead to live my life by my design using the power of "the Secret." January 2016 I became committed to producing the Holster Bags and a line of exclusive wallet designs. I decided to place aside my prejudgments of not having access to expensive materials and decided to us my available resources. This year 2016 I launched Rebel_Lion Boi Culture and started production of the Holster Bag and Wallet set made with duct tape. I choose duct tape because of it 's durability and ability to form to many projects. I also choose it because of the variety and unique designs that are available to crafters community. I am very pleases with the outcome of the duct tape products and am proud to say duct tape made my dreams come true. Today I am the CEO and Founder of Rebel_Lion Boi Culture and there is no looking back. Today we design bags and wallets and tomorrow well design apparel. Our future is limitless.
