A little bit about me… I’m a single mom of two (9 and 15). Besides promo, my other passion is health and fitness. I’m best known for the energy and enthusiasm I bring to any situation, and my love for this industry! I’m a self-starter, and have long-standing relationships with many suppliers and distributors in the industry. Instead of viewing other distributors as competition, I see them as colleagues and friends. We help each other… we’re a promo family!

malik hemani

Director

I joined Houston Promotional Products Association (HPPA) in 2017 after being introduced by a contract decorator who was helping me navigate the industry. Prior to launching my distributorship, Graphic Stylus, I was a project manager at ExxonMobil. I entered the Oil & Gas world to explore my passion for technology. In addition to rolling out large scale enterprise technology infrastructure projects across Asia, South America, Europe and North America; I was given the opportunity to represent ExxonMobil IT during recruitment efforts. In those career fairs, I saw the importance of a strong brand and immediately fell in love with it.
