Our story

Pushing through,
building beautiful

Humanitees was founded by Antonio "Mookie" Hickman — 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 on 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.

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 chase their own dreams, while creating valuable art, designs, and products.

We are consistently working toward environmental balance, social awareness, and giving back through mentorship, education, and resource distribution.
