Lost Tribe is the visual story of one man’s search for meaning when life grew very dark.

Every design you see here is rooted in my own journey of self-discovery — moments of doubt, endurance, faith, and quiet awakening, translated into symbols you can wear.

The Highland Prayers designs, for example, were born from my trek to Everest Base Camp. I walked through thin air and inner turmoil, carrying heartache and pushing forward while my body struggled at extreme altitude. Those pieces hold the memory of persistence — of continuing even when everything feels fragile.

In the Matrix Monks collection, I wrestle with a different tension: how to integrate the lessons I learned while visiting Buddhist monasteries across Asia with the relentless pace and contradictions of modern city life. These designs live in that space between stillness and noise, contemplation and survival.

Seek the Light is perhaps the most personal of all. It reflects the deep spiritual connection I’ve always felt with the natural world — especially birds of prey — and the ancient idea of a spirit animal. Rilke once asked, “Am I falcon, a storm, or a great song?” For me, Seek the Light is the answer. In my darkest moments, I found the light. When I was most lost, I became found.

Like Thich Nhat Hanh, I learned — slowly, imperfectly — how to be at home in the world.

As I traveled outward and then back again, I met so many people — beautiful people — walking their own difficult, meaningful paths. In them, I recognized myself. And in that recognition, I found my Lost Tribe.

It turns out that when you find yourself, you often find your tribe too.

So if you’re out there struggling… if you’re searching for direction, meaning, or something larger than yourself — know this:

You are not alone.
