About Us

"Our Mistakes Don't Limit Us, Only Our Fears Do."

I'm Ariyon Ja'Kell Kelly — a designer, dreamer, and doer behind this brand and the creative force behind Ja’Kell Studios, a print and design studio based in the Twin Cities.

This brand started as a way to express my perspective through clothing — to create pieces that speak, represent culture, and carry intention. But the truth is, design has always been bigger than just fashion for me. I fell in love with the full process — from the concept and storytelling to the printing and production. That love evolved into Ja’Kell Studios, where I now help other creatives and brands bring their visions to life.

Whether it’s a graphic tee from one of my personal collections or a full uniform run for a non-profit or school, everything I create is rooted in care, creativity, and purpose. I believe in pushing boundaries, building community through design, and making sure the message always matches the execution.

The Vision

My goal? To build the most respected creative studio and print shop in the Midwest — a place where artistry and professionalism meet, and where underrepresented voices and brands get the spotlight they deserve.

This is just the beginning.
