Today we’d like to introduce you to Yesica Montoya.
Hi Yesica, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In 2011, my mother and I moved to the United States from Colombia, where we had our own sewing business. After settling in Mesa, tragedy struck in 2015 when my father unexpectedly passed away. I was suddenly faced with the responsibility of becoming the provider for our family, so I applied for a job and traveled to California for training.
During that time, my mother was struggling deeply with the loss of my step-father. I wanted to help her find purpose again and give her something that would bring joy back into her life. While I was in California, I found a lot of used sewing machines. I decided to purchase them, loaded them into a trailer, and drove them all the way back to Mesa. I had never pulled a trailer before, but I was determined to do whatever it took to support my mother.
We set up the sewing machines in my mother’s house, and that’s how 3M3 Creations was born. What started as a small business in our home quickly grew beyond what we could handle in that space, so we built an addition to the house. As demand continued to grow, we eventually moved 3M3 Creations into a commercial building.
Today, I’m proud of how far we’ve come. What began during one of the most difficult times in my life has grown into a business built on family, hard work, perseverance, and a passion for sewing and creating. And we’re still growing, with plans for an even bigger future.
My full name is Yesica Marcela Montoya Moreno, and the three M’s in 3M3 Creations come from my initials. The “3” represents an M on its side. The logo’s star is formed from three M’s, and the colors yellow, blue, and red are inspired by the Colombian flag.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
As probably any business owner would agree, running a business isn’t easy. However, I genuinely enjoy everything I get to do every day.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about 3M3 Creations?
In the sewing industry, I’ve always believed that being different is what sets us apart. At 3M3 Creations, we specialize in taking on projects that many others may not be equipped to handle. We have a wide variety of industrial sewing machines, which allows us to work with an incredible range of materials from delicate fabrics used for wedding dresses to heavy-duty materials like leather.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many seamstresses who are equipped or willing to work with such a wide range of materials and projects. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to specialize in being different. We want to be the business our customers can turn to when others say, “We can’t do that.”
We focus on accommodating our customers by offering faster turnaround times, flexible pricing, and solutions for projects that other businesses may reject. Whether it’s a delicate garment, a challenging alteration, or a project requiring heavy-duty sewing, we are always willing to look at it and find a way to make it happen.
For us, it’s not just about sewing it’s about finding solutions, taking on challenges, and giving our customers a place where they know they will be heard and helped.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Because we are very flexible and willing to work with each customer’s individual needs, I feel that we continue to grow across all of the services we offer. Our ability to adapt, take on unique projects, and find solutions for our customers has allowed us to expand our services. I believe that this flexibility is one of the reasons our customers continue to trust us and why 3M3 Creations continues to grow.
