The Wavemakers is a dynamic group of influential artists and collaborators dedicated to crafting unique pocket t-shirt designs for our collections.

These visionary individuals donate their time, effort, and experience to keep the Pay It Forward Cycle alive, producing pocket t-shirt designs that complement those sketched by our kids. As artists they write songs, paint pictures and build meaningful objects, and just like us they believe in using their talents and skills to ensure the cycle never breaks.
