Profile
Carla Dooley
Founder & President, Promos Ink
From garage hobbyist to national powerhouse, Carla Dooley is the founder and fearless force behind Promos Ink, one of the largest decorated apparel companies in the U.S. With over 60 automatic presses, 450 heads of embroidery, and a full line of DTF and Digital Printers. Carla scaled from an 800 sq ft garage shop to multiple production facilities in Carrollton, TX. Her journey started with an 8-color manual and a belief that thinking big and betting smart could take her further than anyone imagined.
Known for her mantra — "Go big or go home" — Carla brings decades of hands-on leadership, smart equipment investing, and unshakable vision to the industry. Her story is one of grit, growth, and calculated risk — the kind of inspiration every shop owner needs when staring down their next big move.
