What Our Brand Represents…

Thirty-Five To Life was founded in 2023 by Chris Hickman, who was 35 at the time and experiencing personal hardship. Inspired by the challenges he faced, Chris discovered his true calling in helping businesses thrive through his creative talents. With over a decade of experience in graphic design and seven years in marketing, Chris is deeply passionate about the entire creative process, from the initial sketches to the delivery of the final product.

His dedication to excellence earned him two Philly Awards in 2020 for his remarkable work, and he has also contributed to event planning for a local Kansas City nonprofit. Chris's extensive background in design and marketing has equipped him with a unique ability to craft visually compelling and impactful designs that resonate with people and elevate brands.

During his journey through adversity, Chris found solace and inspiration in screen printing, recognizing it as a way to spread positivity and support others facing tough times. He envisioned a brand that would deliver a message of encouragement and strength. "I wanted to create a brand with a message that resonates with people, offering a source of encouragement and strength when they need it most," Chris shared.

This commitment to positivity and resilience drives Chris's pursuit of meaningful and impactful designs that uplift those wearing them. Thirty-Five To Life aims to provide more than just high-quality screen-printed apparel; it seeks to create a supportive community where people can find inspiration and strength.

Today, Thirty-Five To Life is a testament to Chris Hickman's vision. His passion for creativity and dedication to helping others thrive through adversity continues to shape the brand, empowering businesses and individuals with meaningful designs that inspire and uplift.
