Co-Founder
Dan Dumay
“Behold the beauty of creation from a silent mind.”
As a web designer for 8 years, Dan has fostered a passion for connecting with small business owners, listen to their story, & express their vision on the web.
After a conversation with the inventor of a backpack that holds yoga mats which went on to sell millions, he learned how raw tenacity, discipline, & community forge a successful company & ultimately inspired him to one day join a startup.
He was amazed at how effective the recycling & manufacturing process was & instantly realized the potential of building a community around upcycling in the coolest way possible which made it a no-brainer to join & help it grow.
Today Dan aids with visionary designs, helps manage logistics, sales, & marketing. He is beyond elated that he said yes to the dress… dressing up to take the photo above that is, & join Jake on this amazing journey.
