Our Story

NOVA, A story of light in the dark 

I started Nova because, for the longest time, I felt like I was drowning in my own mind. The world around me felt too loud, too heavy, too overwhelming. I’ve always been someone who absorbs everything every emotion, every bit of energy from the people around me and for the longest time, I didn’t know how to carry it all. There were nights when the darkness felt endless, when I thought I’d never find my way out.

But then, I did. Not all at once, not in some dramatic, movie-like revelation, but slowly, through moments of clarity. Through finding light in the smallest things, the right song at the right time, a deep conversation, the quiet comfort of someone who truly understands. I realized that even in the darkest places, light still exists. Sometimes it’s just waiting to be found. That’s where the name Nova came from. In space, a nova happens when a star, after being dim for so long, suddenly bursts back to life. That’s what I wanted to represent, not just for myself, but for everyone who has ever felt lost in the dark.

Nova is more than a clothing brand, it’s a message. A reminder that no matter how heavy life gets, no matter how deep the darkness seems, there is always a way to ignite the light again. Every design, every quote I put into this brand is something I’ve lived through, something I’ve felt. It’s my way of telling people “You are not alone” “You are not broken” “You are not too much” You are light, even when you can’t see it.

This brand has helped me heal. It’s given me a purpose, a way to turn my struggles into something tangible, something that might help someone else. And if Nova can be that spark for even one person, if one person looks at a shirt and feels a little less alone then that’s enough. I believe in this because I believe in people. I believe in the ones who are fighting battles no one can see, in the ones who feel like they don’t belong, in the ones who are searching for meaning.

Nova is for us. The ones who have been through hell but still find a way to rise. The ones who keep going, even when they don’t know how. The ones who are still learning how to be soft in a world that has made them hard.

This is my story. And if you’re reading this, Nova is your story too.
