Ten City comes from my love for this province I call home. There are ten cities in Manitoba, and this brand is my way of paying tribute to the place that shaped me.

I grew up on skateboarding, punk, and hardcore music - things that taught me creativity, resilience, and community. I’m not skating every day anymore, but that culture is still in me. Ten City is how I carry it forward: through designs that honour my roots while fitting where I’m at now in life.

These pieces are for people like me - those of us who came up in the scene, who still feel connected to that energy, but also want something we can wear with pride as we get older. It’s about showing love for Manitoba, for the culture that raised us, and for the idea that even if we’ve slowed down, we’re still part of it.
