Chapter 01 — Rekindled

Fishing found us again.

We both grew up fishing with our dads as kids, and over time it fell through the cracks of life — the way a lot of good things do. But once we found each other, it helped re-spark our love for it as a family dynamic. The quiet mornings, the stupid jokes, the one that always gets away — all of it came back, and this time we got to share it.

Chapter 02 — Beyond our pond

Why the 88.

We're looking to grow its importance to us beyond our pond. Along the journey, we kept encountering the number 88 in our daily lives — on receipts, mile markers, random moments. We started seeing it as a status of our growth and our upcoming learning potential, and occasionally as a hurdle we had yet to tackle. It stuck. It became ours.

Chapter 03 — Two people, one brand

Our personalities, printed.

We wanted to create a brand that comes together to represent our personalities and our interests as husband and wife — and our different yet shared backgrounds. We hope it shows through our designs and humor. Every shirt and mug is a little piece of how we see the world: lake water included, taken-too-seriously not required.

Please share, and spread the word to help build our dreams — and share a laugh to brighten up someone's day.
