BORN IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
VELVET VAN GREW UP IN A COMMUNITY OUTSIDE REGULAR SOCIETY.
in A FAMILY OF 8 WHO TRAVELED AROUND TENNESSEE INside A BIG GREEN VAN.
He was RAISED WITHOUT TV OR TRADITIONAL MEDIA,FAMILY ROOTED IN LOVE, LAUGHTER,AND ADVENTURE.
VELVET VAN WAS HOMESCHOOLED BY HIS MOTHER AS A CHILD creating A RELATIONSHIP WITH LEARNING HE’S NEVER LET GOGH OF.
OUTSIDE TILL THE SUN WENT DOWN CO CREATING IMAGINARY WORLDS IN WHICH HIS BROTHERS SISTERS AND NEIGHBORS WOULD SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS EXPANDING.
HIS DAYs WERE FILLED WITH ADVENTURE, BLESSED with THE EYES OF HIS FATHER A LOCAL RENOWNED PHOTOGRAPHER. OVERTIME LEARNING THE VALUE OF PERSPECTIVE NOT JUST IN ART BUT IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
VELVET VAN SPENT ANY MOMENT HE COULD WITH HIS MOM.
WHETHER THAT WAS IN THE KITCHEN WHILE SHE COOKED, PULLING WEEDS ALONG SIDE HER IN THE GARDEN, OR RUNNING ERRANDS WITH HER.
THRIFTING CLOTHES BEGAN TO STAND OUT AS THIS OUTING WAS MORE THAN ISLES AND GRABBING WHAT WAS ON THE LIST. THIS WAS EXPLORATION, MYSTERY, ADVENTURE, AND REWARD ALL AT ONCE.
OVERTIME LESSONS FROM HIS MOM STARTED TO CONNECT, HE WAS Running THROUGH RACKS LIKE A _____ NOT LEAVING AN ITEM UNTOUCHED.
HIS FOCUS FLUCTUATED FROM COLORS, PATTERNS, AND TEXTURES. HIS FAVORITE FINDS OF ALL BEING EMBROIDERED GARMENTS.
HIS CONNECTION WITH NATURE LEAD HIM TO WORKING AT AN OUTDOOR OUTFITTERS. HERE HE DEVELOPED AN UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION FOR TECHNICAL DESIGN AND RUGGED FUNCTIONALITY.
THE LITTLE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
