Optimist Made is designed to intersect technology and fashion in order to bring opportunity to the global design sector and a richer apparel and accessory offering to the consumer.

The story starts with my mission to introduce a diverse portfolio of fashion expression to the US market. I have had a long career as a global marketing executive where I have spent many years on airplanes in and out of various countries with full passport books to prove it. I got my travel bug at a young age with a commercial airline pilot for a father and a mother from Jamaica who craves adventure. My yearning to live like a local when overseas takes me deep into the most mystical and remarkable haunts with an endless trail of interesting people. I can never resist indulging in what many would call ‘wanderlust.’
