SHOGA GARDENS: Loc Canal Jacket 🇻🇳 🪡 🔜

Refining is not controlling.

Listen until the jacket tells you who it is.

The thing that is forced becomes a known thing.

Each iteration is an audition — Listen.

What does it want to become?

Resist the urge to manage it.
Instead, follow what is revealed.

Honor the spark.

Is it a gift?
Then it is finished.

Another Tet Holiday in Vietnam. ⚽️🇻🇳🎊
Moving here opened up something I didn’t expect—I’m back on the pitch again.

Growing up on Long Island in the 90s, I had to choose: Soccer, a culture (at the time) that didn’t exactly vibe with my music, hair cuts or dark fits.

So, I walked away and put all my energy into skateboarding instead.

Now I’m building SHOGA GARDENS and finding time to play again. Turns out creating products you love and doing what makes you happy aren’t mutually exclusive—they actually feed each other.

Funny, sometimes you have to move halfway around the world to circle back to the things you loved.

Patience isn’t passive. It’s the work we do while we wait.

I’m choosing to rethink timelines lately— How we are trained to set them and how they rarely follow our process or life - How something can feel overdue, then wind up being right on time simultaneously.

With SHÕGA GARDENS, I’m learning the prototype process is like fermentation. Finding the right silhouette, details, fabrics and partners needs time to test gear, purpose and relationships.

The vision is clear, but wavy paths reveal themselves with unique rhythms.

In the meantime, in between prototyping, I play with sound—crafting things that exist somewhere between songs and diary entries. They’re unpolished - I gently tweak forward what draws me in.

To build trust with the signals, I listen and act daily - a note here , a few moves during lunch - anything to keep the channel between the universe and me open. Devotional. Creation as an offering. Creation as conversation. 🌱

Sometimes the best thing we can do for what we're building is to stay in motion elsewhere. Trust the germination period.

Trust that while we’re tending to one thing, another is quietly taking root.
Timelines unfold in life rather than via a spreadsheet. I’m learning to work with it, not against it.
