How You Can Use MyDesigns and Merch Titans to Revolutionize Your Creative Process

You might be a busy creative who produces designs for POD marketplaces in your spare time. But, between your day job and a young family, you are finding it hard to truly get your POD career off the ground.

Perhaps you work on weeknights and weekends to release new designs at the quickest pace you can, but you never get the feeling you are keeping up with the superstar designers on marketplaces like Merch by Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble, and more.

If this is true, then you face a lot of the same problems many other part-time creatives must confront - you can't find the time to break through your current design production speed. You feel like you aren't maximizing the little time you have because there are just so many repetitive parts to your creative generation and uploading process.

In this article, we will talk you through how you can solve these problems with the help of two related creative automation systems. MyDesigns and Merch Titans can take much of the repetitive work out of your creative process, so more of your limited hours go into the designs themselves.

Full disclosure: Merch Titans and MyDesigns are both owned by Curtis Blackmore. The details below were checked in the Merch Titans app and on mydesigns.io on Nov 6, 2026.

Introducing MyDesigns and Merch Titans

MyDesigns is a print on demand workspace in the cloud: you find what sells, make designs with AI, put them on products with bulk mockups, write the listings with its Vision AI, and publish to Etsy, Shopify, TikTok Shop, WooCommerce and your own MyDesigns Store.

MyDesigns was created to solve many of the creative workflow problems people like you have experienced in the POD and eCommerce space.

Merch Titans is a related desktop app for Windows and Mac that uploads designs in bulk to Amazon Merch on Demand, Printify, Printful, Redbubble and TeePublic, all from one run. The two are complementary: MyDesigns covers your stores and shops, and Merch Titans covers the design marketplaces.

Your Workflow Challenges

So far, your creative journey is not unlike many other creatives - you work with several marketplaces to sell designs for t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs and so much more. Over time, you've grown tired of managing your designs in inefficient ways. You may have felt like you were just treading water in a sea of much more organized and productive designers. You wonder if you can ever create enough great designs fast enough to rise through the ranks to sell more designs on a consistent basis.

Your workflow is a mishmash of designs in various stages of completion saved in folders on your computer. Maybe you can't get your cataloging system right, you get confused between design versions, and worst of all, you work off manual spreadsheets to track your submissions to the different marketplaces.

We get it, the situation sucks all the joy out of just creating. If only there was a way to make things easier. What you really need is a tool that keeps your designs and listing data in one place, in the cloud, and lets you work on them in bulk.

What if, once your designs are created and stored, you can bust through another time-consuming exercise - uploading them to all the marketplaces you work with?

The solution to both these challenges lies with two products:

• MyDesigns, where you can create and alter your designs in bulk and store them
• Merch Titans, where you can automatically upload your designs in bulk to several marketplaces

Today the two connect through Merch Titans' Import from MyDesigns feature, and a deeper connection is coming soon. Both are covered below.

Come Around to Creative Automation

This is not to say that creatives like you can easily go from technology skeptics to digitally powered super-creatives overnight. Like many creatives who have developed a strange love of their carefully curated desktop folders and detailed spreadsheets, you haven't always been sold on the idea that there is a system that can take years of your work, thousands of designs, and house them just the way you like it.

Perhaps you've doubted if you can find a system that solved your problems so completely. You've had to wrap your head around the idea of creative automation. But deep down, when you work in your home office late into the night trying out different versions of your designs on several incompatible platforms, you know there must be a better way.

You must embrace creative automation, which is the process of using technology to supercharge your creative asset production by automating repetitive parts of the process. It helps cut bottlenecks in the creative process by obliterating time-consuming tasks like naming and cataloging.

Creative automation just isn't optional anymore. For independent creatives like you, producing quality content and achieving personalization at scale is a reality. You can set yourself up for rapid growth to catch up with the pack. It helps to be able to iterate faster to stay ahead of the copycats.

Yet, you still have some questions about creative automation:

• Is it really for me as a small-time creative?
• Can you really automate creativity?
• It must be hard to pull off

These are valid questions. Ones that so many other creatives like you have asked before. In the end, if you take the plunge with MyDesigns and Merch Titans, this is how it can work.

Starting Up with MyDesigns

Let's say that after growing tired of managing your designs in repetitive and inefficient ways, you sign up for MyDesigns. MyDesigns has a Free plan, and its pricing page says Free needs no credit card. Free is small, with no AI credits, 4 products per batch and 1 shop per platform, so it's a way to try the workflow rather than run a big catalog. Paid plans start at $19.99 a month billed yearly (checked Nov 6, 2026).

Cloud Storage

MyDesigns stores your designs and data in the cloud, so you can reach them from anywhere. Storage depends on the plan: 256 MB on Free, 40 GB on Starter, 100 GB on Pro and 1 TB on Pro Plus (mydesigns.io pricing, checked Nov 6, 2026). Your designs are a big part of your life and are close to your heart, so keep your own copies on your computer too.

Improved Workflow

Instead of jumping between a design app, a mockup tool, a spreadsheet and each marketplace, MyDesigns puts the steps in one place: make or upload designs, put them on products with bulk mockups, have Vision AI write titles, tags and descriptions, and publish in batches. Batch sizes depend on the plan, from 4 products at a time on Free to 120 on Pro Plus.

Creating Listings

You might own several designs that have already done well for you on various marketplaces. Your challenge is to make close replicas of your best designs at scale so you can give your buyers choice, and at the same time sell more designs with less effort than before.

On MyDesigns, you organize designs into folders and subfolders, grouped by theme, type, or date. That structure matters later: Merch Titans imports one MyDesigns folder at a time, so a folder per collection or per batch makes the hand-off easy.

Uploading Designs

Each MyDesigns folder works from a template with slots for the images that belong to each design. Keep the slot you plan to upload to Amazon Merch, Redbubble or TeePublic filled for every design in the folder. When you import into Merch Titans, you choose that image slot, and the upload won't start if any listing has nothing in it.

Merch Titans Automation: The Upload Powerhouse

Once your designs are organized in MyDesigns, Merch Titans takes over the heavy lifting of getting them listed on Amazon Merch on Demand, Printify, Printful, Redbubble and TeePublic. Instead of uploading to each marketplace one by one, one run starts each marketplace 2 seconds after the one before, then runs them at the same time.

Here's how the connection works today, with Import from MyDesigns:

1. In MyDesigns, create a personal access token. The Merch Titans app links straight to the page.
2. In Merch Titans, click Upload spreadsheet on Home, then Import from MyDesigns, and paste the token.
3. Pick the MyDesigns folder and the image slot to upload.
4. MyDesigns exports the folder as a spreadsheet, and the app shows it. Check that each marketplace's columns point at the right MyDesigns fields under "Spreadsheet columns" on its settings page.
5. Tick the listings and press Start upload. The app downloads each image from MyDesigns as it goes.

You don't download files or build a spreadsheet by hand. Two limits to know: the import lasts for one app session, so you import again after a restart, and imported sheets don't go through Easy Mode, so Merch Titans' optional trademark check doesn't run on them. The full steps are in the MyDesigns docs and the spreadsheet upload docs.

What's coming soon: the app's MyDesigns page describes sending your Merch Titans listings into MyDesigns as products, with mockups made in bulk, and letting MyDesigns publish them to the stores you've connected there. It isn't built yet and has no release date. Designs that start in Merch Titans' Easy Mode, where AI writes the listings, can't go to MyDesigns until then.

The Bottom Line

Creative automation with MyDesigns and Merch Titans is not just about saving time - it's about changing how you spend it. By cutting repetitive tasks, organizing your designs in the cloud, and automating uploads across multiple platforms, you can focus on what you do best: creating amazing designs.

The tools take care of the repetitive parts. Which designs to make, and which niches to chase, is still up to you. Stop treading water and start swimming with the current.
