All great ideas come from connecting the dots of the things you experience. A friend told me that when I was younger and still doing a course on architectural design, and it’s a thought that came to me again a little while ago. People always ask me what I studied and how it could possibly relate to sportswear. On the surface, my degree in "Built Environment" has very little to do with clothing, but I sometimes feel this deep overlap between the two. Through my studies, I became fascinated by the design of buildings and the actual effect they have on the people inside them. I think everything we design needs a purpose, even if that purpose is just to create a bit of beauty out of nothing.

I’m not entirely sure where this gut feeling for "good" design comes from, but most people recognize it when they see it. When something looks right, it usually feels right. And when something feels right, you feel better and more at ease in your own skin. You don’t need an architecture degree to know when a room has the right light or when a fabric has the right weight, because your body just tells you. A building that is designed with this in mind is a pleasure to be in, and that is exactly what I try to do with the products we create. I want them to be a little piece of comfort for you, a part of nature that you can carry everywhere you go. That sense of balance is what turns a structure into a home, and I believe it's what turns a simple garment into something that actually supports your life. It’s about creating that same sense of "place" and stability that you get from a well-designed room, but in the clothes you wear every day.
