About Us
What does it mean to be Soul Made?
When someone pours their heart and soul passionately and authentically into their artistic creations, infusing the artistic work with the very essence of who they are. It must be created with immense love and thought, at its core, being Soul Made is about bringing forth the deepest aspects of yourself—the ideas, beliefs, personality, style, and passions—and channeling them into your creative works. It is a process of transformation, where your art becomes an extension of yourself, an expression of your unique soul. Authenticity and sincerity are at the heart of being Soul Made. You cannot fabricate or mimic the depth and authenticity that come from creating with true passion. Each creation is imbued with a genuine intention to express your innermost self, to communicate something meaningful and inspiring to others.
Our Mission
At Soul Made, our purpose is to ignite a spark within you, inspiring self-expression and introspection into the depths of your life. We believe in the importance of discovering and pursuing what you truly love, to follow your dreams without being influenced by societal expectations or the opinions of others. At Soul Made, we firmly believe that passion and determination can enable you to make a difference in the world. We understand that in order to change the world, we must first change ourselves. The motivation behind creating Soul Made is my belief that the world would be a better place if more people did what they loved, and through fashion, I can artistically create high-quality clothing that is visually good looking but also has deep meaning to help people express themselves and inspire others to think deeper and live fuller.
I have put myself fully and authentically into this fashion brand from my own personal philosophy, interests, and life influences. I hope that my work reflects the high-quality aesthetic and poetic streetwear that I have

Our Story
-
The Inception of Soul Made: In June 2023, Soul Made came into existence, born out of my journey from Wichita, Kansas, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a life-changing summer internship going into my senior year. This move was a conscious decision to step out of my comfort zone, and help figure out by myself who I am and what I wanted to do in my life.
-
The Quest for a Non-Traditional Path: Long before I created Soul Made, I yearned for a non-traditional career path but was unsure of how to embark on it. The pivotal moment occurred during my first night in Philadelphia when I confronted myself with profound questions: "Who am I, and who do I want to be?" Realizing that I wasn't yet the person I aspired to be, I asked, "How can I become that person?"
-
Aspiration for Impact: It became clear that I desired to achieve greatness, make a significant impact, and inspire others to become better versions of themselves. I recognized that creativity can be a powerful tool for self-expression and inspiration.
-
The Birth of a Vision: Clothing, with its potential for creativity and message dissemination, emerged as the ideal medium for my aspirations. I committed to designing apparel that reflected my life philosophy, was aesthetically pleasing, high in quality, and accessible to all.
-
Delving into Introspection: As I delved deeper into the idea of creating a clothing brand, I engaged in introspection. I pondered over why I wanted to embark on this journey, how to infuse my values into my brand, and how to make it truly stand out.
-
The Essence of Soul Made: It became clear that Soul Made should embody the very essence of its creation - introspection. I envisioned a brand that motivated people to have honest conversations with themselves, even if these conversations were challenging. I sought to address the pervasive issue of aimlessness in today's fast-paced, distracted world.
-
Empowering Individuals: One of Soul Made's core missions is to empower individuals by reminding them of their intrinsic power. It's a brand that radiates positivity and motivation, asserting that anyone can achieve their dreams, regardless of external distractions or negativity.
-
A Philosophical Endeavor: Soul Made is not just a brand; it's a reflection of my beliefs, interests, and aspirations. I aspire to create a positive ripple effect in the world, and Soul Made is my vehicle for change.
-
Soul Made isn't just about clothing; it's a movement built on introspection, empowerment, and the belief that individuals have the power to shape their destinies. It's a testament to the idea that being true to oneself is the first step toward realizing one's potential and making a positive impact on the world.
