The Happy Brand began with a simple idea inside our home here in Ohio: what if clothing could do more than look good? What if it could reflect the places, values, and moments that shape who we are?

Our story started together in Arizona, where we met. Shi grew up in Ohio. Ryan grew up in Arizona. Those two places shaped us long before we became "us", and they continue to be the foundation of our lives today. When we launched Happy Ohioan, it was our way of honoring the state that became home for our family, and the heart behind everything we were building.

As our community grew, we realized people weren't just buying shirts. They were connecting to home, to meaning, and to pieces of life that mattered to them, the same way we had. That's when we knew Happy Ohioan needed to become bigger than one place or one theme. It needed to reflect our full story and create space for others to see their story in it too. Hence, the creation of The Happy Brand.

Today, The Happy Brand is made up of four sub-brands, each rooted in something real to us:

Happy Ohioan: proudly kept, to honor Shi's roots, and because Ohio is our home.
Happy Arizonan: created to honor Ryan's roots and where our story began.
Happy Believer: shaped by the faith that guides our lives.
Happy Culture: inspired by the lifestyle, sports, and everyday moments we've always loved.

Every design, every order, every message reminds us that this isn't just clothing. It's connection. It's community. It's little pieces of our story shared with anyone who resonates with it.

We're a small, family-led brand with a big belief in what joy can do, and we're grateful every time someone chooses to be part of this story with us.

Be Happy. It Changes Everything.
That's The Happy Brand.
