About Us

Welcome to Inner Mind Collaborative. Let me share my story and why I’m on this journey today.

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, I’ve always been a curious soul, soaking up knowledge in science, art, and philosophy. I was a goofy kid who constantly found himself in wild adventures. From climbing trees and jumping off balconies to biking 30 miles on the highway and exploring unmarked trails for miles. I was also occasionally rebellious. I may have walked out of class a few times and bent some rules here and there (or completely ignored them), but it was definitely worth it. In a nutshell, I was all about pushing boundaries and exploring the unknown.

After high school, college didn’t seem to have what I truly needed, so I dropped out and settled for a job that seemed okay. Little did I know, I had unknowingly set myself on a path to nowhere. Now, don’t get me wrong, academically, I was no slouch—I graduated with a stellar 4.2 GPA and even had a full ride scholarship in my pocket. But the truth hit me hard: what I truly needed couldn’t be found within the walls of any institution. Fast forward four years at that job, and I woke up to the harsh reality of aimlessness. No dreams, no goals, and no fire in my soul. I spent a lot of time during those years messing around and digging myself into an emotional and mental pit. I fell out of a lot of my good habits, like my diet, my exercise routine, and my education. I also picked up some bad habits that took me to some unforgiving mental landscapes. It took some serious soul-searching and facing the hard truths, but I finally reclaimed the driver’s seat of my life.

That’s why Inner Mind Collaborative was born. Street wear has been my passion ever since I got my hands on my first pair basketball shoes (Nike PG 4 EP 'Oreo'). I dove headfirst into the vibrant world of street wear, hip-hop style, and fashion as a whole. Here, Inner Mind Collaborative stepped into the spotlight. Fashion became my canvas to express and share my passions with the world, as well as my trials and tribulations. I want to help people see how they can help themselves and that they are not alone with their struggles. There are so many out there dealing with depression, aimlessness, and apathy towards life itself—I know, because I’ve been there.

Every design, feature, social media post, blog entry, and customer interaction at Inner Mind Collaborative is driven by one goal: To light a spark for those in darkness. True change starts within ourselves. Through my brand, I want to empower others to help themselves, ultimately creating a positive ripple effect that improves the world we live in.

I hope you’ve found something here that resonates with you. And guess what? You’ll discover something you love within the Inner Mind Collaborative too. So, let’s stay happy, stay healthy, and keep on learning together.

Peace ✌️,
