919Brand

“Growing up in a small North Carolina town, surrounded by endless fields and the simplicity of country life, I learned early on about the beauty in quiet moments, strong community, and deep roots. But as I grew older, I started to crave something more. I wanted to see beyond the boundaries of my hometown, to experience new cultures, and to find out what the world had to offer. Traveling opened my eyes to endless possibilities, but it also made me appreciate my roots in a new way. I saw how unique and special North Carolina really is—the pride, resilience, and warmth of the people. I realized I wanted to bring a piece of home with me wherever I went, and I wanted others to feel that sense of connection, too. That’s why I started 919brand. It’s a way to represent the essence of where I come from—a brand rooted in the spirit of North Carolina, but open to anyone who values authenticity, adventure, and homegrown pride. Through 919brand, I aim to create pieces that carry the heart of our local culture into the broader world, blending small-town charm with global inspiration.”
