Tiffany Gil

I started Shezza after enduring excruciating pain from breaking in my beloved Doc Marten boots, blisters so severe they bled. Discovering that over 70% of Americans experience similar foot pain, I became determined to create a simple, effective solution that lets people wear any shoe comfortably.

My entrepreneurial journey began when I transferred to San Diego State University and joined all three of their entrepreneurship programs. With the support of mentors and resources, I spent three years developing Shezza before launching it full-time.

Entrepreneurship is my greatest passion. Growing up in a family of small business owners, my mom ran a hair salon and my dad owns an auto body shop, I learned early that with the right tools and relentless effort, anything is possible. I’ve also worked at three startups under serial entrepreneurs, gaining hands-on experience and learning to wear many hats.

Today, I’m driven by impact. We offer internship opportunities to students launching their careers and use 100% sustainable packaging to minimize our environmental footprint. Building a business that solves a real problem while creating meaningful opportunities for others is what inspires me every day.
