WHY?

“NONE OF US ARE IMMUNE TO TIME.The truest act of self-care is not only tending to the present, but to our future…” 

As an artist, I believe creativity should flow into everything we do, from the designs we wear to the way we show up in the world.

As a person who spends time in the gym pushing my limits, I’ve learned that true strength comes from protecting the body as much as building it.

As a young professional, I value support that’s preventative yet invisible, so I can blend in without judgment in the corporate world.

 

Over the years, I’ve seen how the hidden toll of work shows up in the people around me. Friends at desks talk about hands that go numb after hours on a keyboard. Nail technicians and tattoo artists share stories of the strain they feel over time.

It’s science as much as it is experience: repetitive motion and poor ergonomics slowly compress nerves, inflame tendons, and wear down the very muscles that let us create and show up the way we should. Vibrations from tools traveling down the arm, often leading to tendonitis, carpal tunnel symptoms, or chronic wrist fatigue. Experienced athletes know that strain accumulates quietly, until one day it demands attention.

That’s why I created ART.ARMOR

My goal was simple: to design something that feels like part of your identity while working invisibly to support the vessel that carries you throughout your life.
