not a one person army

The anti-thesis of “one man army”




an ode to my loved ones and support system – a personal brand created to reflect my values and sentiment as a person and designer. A heart-felt creation to acknowledge those that have stuck by me in all that I do and will do.

Not a One Person Army

NOPA is more than just a project; it’s a reflection of who I am. It embodies my sentiments, values, and identity, taking shape as a brand that speaks to my essence as both a person and a designer. Through NOPA, I have the freedom to creatively express myself in the most authentic and meaningful way. More than that, NOPA is a realization that I am never truly alone—it's an acknowledgment of my support system and a way for me to give back the love they constantly show me. Though it began as a personal brand, my vision is to share NOPA with others who resonate with this sentiment, creating a space that fosters connection.

I wanted to bring NOPA into the world as a reminder to myself that I’m not alone—that I’m lucky to be surrounded by some really amazing people. And just as much, it’s a reminder to the people around me that they’re not alone either.

Here’s a glimpse of what NOPA is to me. I had the chance to build this brand alongside my friends, letting them choose and press the symbols that represent their own support systems onto custom-made hoodies. It made the process feel personal, and true to what NOPA stands for.
