From Idea
To RealiTee

Humanitees was founded by Antonio “Mookie” Hickman. Antonio is an entrepreneur, designer, father and local to the Chattanooga area. After the loss of Mookie’s brother-friend, Josh, the print shop was offered to Mookie by Josh’s family. Pushing through the tragedy, Mookie seized the opportunity and created something beautiful: a business that is inclusive, creative, effective and community-based. 

Consistently building upon the initial set-up, Mookie has grown Humanitees to include embroidery, multiple employees, double printing capacity and several departments dedicated to design, management and application of graphics. 

Humanitiees is overseen by Mookie as director and founder. Frank is the embroidery expert, consistently running all things threads. Nate leads the graphic design department, with over 10 years of experience in digital art creation. Andre is our application expert with 20 years in the garment decorating industry. Edwin is our clothing coloration designer, design applicator, and shoe specialist.

The long term goals of Humanitees are what keeps us aiming upward. Shooting for the galaxies. As a collective our goal is to build generational wealth for our families and communities, to build an inclusive environment for creatives, entrepreneurs, and all people to build their own dreams, all while simultaneously creating valuable art, designs and products for ourselves and our customers. We are consistently working towards environmental balance, social awareness and giving back through mentorship, education and resource distribution.
