Origins of
High Spirits

High Spirits was born from the meeting point of heart, art, and a little bit of magic at a plant show in Denver, Colorado where I didn't see any plant tees.

For as long as I can remember, creativity has been my lifeline, a way to process the world, to express what words can’t always say. But over time, that creative spark started whispering for something more. Something that didn’t just live in my sketchbook or my daydreams, but something that could give back, connect people, and carry meaning.

Raised in the quiet foothills of Appalachia and now rooted in the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains, I’ve always been inspired by contrast. The wild and the still, the light and the dark, the gentle and the gritty. Maybe that’s why I’ve always felt drawn to the gothic and the witchy, too because it’s not just an aesthetic, it’s an energy. A belief in transformation, in intention, and in the unseen connections that tie us all together. (Being born on Halloween probably helped a bit, too.)

And, of course, there are the dogs. The loyal companions, the rescues, the reasons my heart beats a little bigger. They remind me every day what unconditional love and community really look like.

So, High Spirits became my way to weave all of it together with creativity, compassion, connection, and a dash of mischief. It’s more than a brand; it’s a movement of good energy. A celebration of people who live with heart, walk their own trail, and believe in lifting others as they go.

Our goal is simple but powerful:
✨ To create things that make people feel something and also seen, inspired, and connected.
✨ To give back to the communities (both human and animal) that give us so much.
✨ To remind the world that kindness, adventure, and authenticity are still magic worth believing in.

Because High Spirits isn’t just about what you wear but it’s about what you carry.
