My name is Simone, also known as “Sim!” Locked in my house during COVID quarantine, I began looking for ways to express myself. I had always wanted to convey myself through clothing, but nothing hanging in my closet was what I was looking for. So, in June of 2020 I purchased a few sweatshirts and sweatpants and began designing them with graphics and cool messaging. One design led to the next, and I soon had a sweatshop running in my parents’ bathroom. Throughout my senior year of high school, I posted my designs on Instagram; and. after receiving an overwhelming response, I decided to start my own brand called SIMMETRY. As a college student, I have been able to use SIMMETRY as my creative outlet. It has always helped me symmetrically show off my internal and external selves, and with each design, I hope to encourage customers to do the same.
