My name is John Michael Filippone. I am a 20 year old studying Business Economics at the Eller College of management. After moving to Tucson, I found a love for creating clothing and showing people how I see the world. I decided to create a company during the summer of 2021 to learn more about clothing and achieve my goal of impacting how people see the world. My company is named Sol Del Seco and right now we specialize in hats, shirts and shorts but we are expanding into all different types of apparel. We are also expanding our signature “I’d Rather Be In…” collection to 4 new cities in the next month and are excited to keep growing from there. To date we have produced 1,000 hats and have become a staple of the University of Arizona. Running this business over the last year has instilled a love for business and entrepreneurship in me that I am excited to see grow. I want to make an impact on people and bring light to peoples lives in my personal life and my career and Sol Del Seco is how I am doing that.
In my career thus far, I have specialized in photography and communications. I started as a staff photographer at Angelus Magazine, the Log Angeles Archdiocese’s publication. I went on to join the digital media team at the Los Angeles Archdiocese and have continued professional photography and social media management in every organization I have worked in since. In the last year, I have taken these skills and put them into what I do with my company.
