THE ORIGIN
STORY
It started with a name. A terrible, terrible name.
Originally, this tool was called Duke Launch.
Duke thought it sounded majestic. Like a rocket taking off. Like a king declaring war on poverty.
Then he told his friends.
"Duke Launch? Sounds like a medieval poop slingshot," one said.
"Is that what happens after a bad burrito?" asked another.
Duke was devastated. But Duke is also pragmatic (and slightly lazy). He didn't want to build a brand that sounded like a latrine catapult.
He wanted to build an EMPIRE.
He wanted to INSPIRE others to do the same.
Thus, EMPIRE INSPIRE was born.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
Create DIGITAL DESIGNS for print-on-demand products using AI and market data. We analyze best-seller trends to match winning designs with optimal Printify products. All designs are original - no copyrighted content, no actual vintage items.
THE SMART APPROACH
Instead of guessing what sells, we use AI to analyze market patterns and create "vintage-inspired" or "retro-style" designs that capture trending aesthetics without using copyrighted band names, logos, or brands.
"Don't launch a duke. Inspire an empire."
— Duke, CEO & Chief Napping Officer
