The Forest Sweatshirt is one of my most meaningful designs, and it has become my best friend’s favorite for a reason. This sweatshirt features a single tree—standing tall, resilient, and connected to the stars. But it’s more than just a design—it’s a reflection of my relationship with nature and the influence my dad has had on my life.
My dad, an arborist, has always been a mentor to me. His work caring for trees and the natural world has shaped how I see the world and how I approach life. Watching him nurture and protect the trees, I learned the importance of patience, strength, and showing up even through the toughest conditions. He’s always been rooted in his passion, just like the trees he cares for, and that’s something that deeply influenced my desire to create this design.

The single tree on this sweatshirt represents all of that. It’s a tribute to my dad’s work and a symbol of the morals he instilled in me—to Be Present, Be True, and Show Up. He’s the reason this design exists because he’s shown me how important it is to stay grounded in who you are, while always reaching higher, like the trees do.
This sweatshirt, in a way, is my promise to the environment and to the values I hold close—values that my dad has lived by every day. When you wear it, it’s more than just a piece of clothing. It’s a reminder of our connection to nature, of standing tall in the face of challenges, and of showing up for what matters most.
