TeeTurtle

At the heart of TeeTurtle is a vibrant culture of creativity and self-expression, born from a one-man operation in a small Baltimore apartment in 2012. Founded by Ramy Badie, the company has blossomed into a dynamic team of creators dedicated to a simple, yet powerful mission: to create products that bring people together, foster genuine moments of delight, and allow individuals to express their unique selves. This mission is the driving force behind every t-shirt, plushie, and game that TeeTurtle produces. The team is guided by four core values that they refer to as their 'Jedi Code': Integrity, Curiosity, Compassion, and Calm. These principles shape every decision, influence how team members treat one another, and define the very essence of what the company creates. Integrity means doing what is right, even when it's not easy. Curiosity fuels a passion for progress and a willingness to challenge accepted thinking. Compassion fosters a supportive and inclusive environment, and Calm ensures a thoughtful and deliberate approach to their work.

TeeTurtle's culture is one that encourages its team to be 'undeniably you'. As an LGBTQ-owned company, there is a deep commitment to kindness and inclusivity, ensuring that the joy their products bring is accessible to everyone. This ethos extends beyond their internal team to the vast community of fans they have cultivated. By nurturing genuine connections through social media, email, and at over 150 pop culture events worldwide each year, TeeTurtle has built a loyal 'friendbase'. What started as a t-shirt company has expanded to include the viral Reversible Plushies and the popular tabletop game company, Unstable Games, known for titles like 'Unstable Unicorns'. This expansion reflects the team's core passion for creating meaningful, shared experiences. They are not just selling products; they are building a community centered around the joy of pop culture, the fun of gaming, and the power of expressing who you are. The creative and fast-paced startup environment is balanced with a focus on well-being and flexibility, making it a place where passionate and talented individuals can thrive.
