With the pandemic beginning more than a year ago, we all had a lot of time to reflect on the direction we wanted our lives to go. The pandemic brought a time of sadness and hardship that no one saw coming. However, it birthed a new era of creativity and hidden talent. It opened up spaces for those who didn’t have any before. The quarantine(s) allowed for time to build, plan, and strategize.

A new dawn was coming. Since the coming year, many new innovative designers have been elevating to the status of major designers.

With social media being our escape and way to connect with one another, it has granted exposure to a lot of new faces with fresh perspectives and cutting edge designs. Here’s some brands you may want to keep your eye on!
