How was Hello Happy born?

Long story short: we wanted to pay off bills and start saving to pay off student loans. We were tired of sitting around waiting for "one day" to come and crave that financial freedom. So here we are chasin' this dream together!

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Okay but the good stuff is in the long story, long...so here's our fun(wild) little back story: Kevin and I have been married for 16 years, in 2016 he decided to leave a good job, brand new home, and sell our toys, all to go back to school (literally back to college for his undergrad)...to become a doctor. Haha! Ahh it was quite the shock as he told me all this via a text one day (another great story). He was not feeling fulfilled in his current line of work, and I was on board 100%. It's been a huge sacrifice for our family (for our first year of med school we lived on the tiny island of Grenada, until Covid hit!), but I know that ultimately it has been the best decision and blessing ever. We entered medical school with 3 kids in our 30s, and are currently about to go into our 4th year of medical school.

We know all about taking the road less traveled and doing things the "unconventional" way. And now here we are, just trying to build a brand and give YOU the comfiest fits with the cutest designs for your everyday needs!

Kevin has always had an entrepreneur spirit in him, and has played with the idea of starting a business for years, but the timing never seemed right. Sidenote: it's also kind of hard to start a business when you are living off of school loans + studying your brains out!

Audrey is a surface pattern designer and illustrator (@audreyfullerart) and has ALWAYS loved seeing her designs on physical products. So right along those lines, she has also always wanted to put her work onto apparel. She's a fan of a good graphic tee, lives in biker shorts and comfy sweatshirts (mom uniform for life!), and loves spreading positive messages and happiness!

GOING FOR IT:

We prayed a ton, and for the past couple years would always get a kind of "not yet" feeling. Well, that feeling finally decided to vanish, so here we are deciding that now's the time to go for it! Haha there is no "right" time. Although, maybe better times than others ;) We are so pumped and excited to be starting this adventure. Sure we are "old", sure we are in the middle of medical school, but we are here for it and both feel right moving forward. Getting the ball rolling on one of our dreams while letting our kids help along the way and see this process first hand, is priceless.

We are passionate about creating a brand that encompasses that. We want to offer apparel that doesn't get thrown away after one wash, but shirts that become staples in your closet! We want to be your go to for everyday. Basics that leave you feeling confident and happy in your fit. Because we know that when you look good, you just feel good!
