Our Story
FirstGen Designs was born from a journey shaped by faith, education, and community. Founded by a first-generation college graduate, the brand exists to honor the stories that often go unseen—and to make representation something you can wear.
What started as a personal expression of pride and purpose has grown into a space where shared experiences, milestones, and collective wins are celebrated through meaningful design.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create culturally rooted apparel and visuals through intentional design that centers representation, community, and storytelling—empowering individuals to turn their journey into something visible, shared, and proudly worn.
We believe clothing and visuals can be more than style. Through design, they become a reflection of identity, a marker of progress, and a reminder that our stories matter.
What We Stand For
At the heart of FirstGen Designs is a commitment to honoring the journeys that shape us.
We design for individuals who move with pride and purpose—those who are deeply connected to their community and intentional about how they show up in the world. Our pieces are created to spark connection, start conversations, and celebrate the legacy being built every day.
Representation is not an afterthought. It’s our foundation.
Apparel Offerings
We design culturally rooted apparel that transforms lived experience into wearable storytelling. Each piece is created with intention—centering representation, community, and pride—so what you wear reflects who you are, where you’ve been, and what you’re building.
Design Services
Our design services translate culture, identity, and ambition into compelling visual language. We partner with founders, creatives, and brands to build visuals that are not only polished—but purposeful.

Designed With Intention
Every FirstGen piece is thoughtfully created at the intersection of fashion and visual storytelling—reflecting culture, achievement, and collective pride. Through storytelling-driven design, we highlight moments that matter, from academic milestones and cultural identity to entrepreneurial spirit and everyday excellence.
Whether worn or seen, each collection is rooted in meaning—crafted to make stories visible, honor legacy, and move culture forward—because what you wear should speak to who you are and where you’re going.
Our Community
FirstGen is more than a brand—it’s a community.
We exist for the graduates, the trailblazers, the culture carriers, and the ones turning firsts into futures. When you wear FirstGen, you’re part of a collective that values visibility, connection, and shared success.
Together, we celebrate our stories—and make room for more.
Looking Forward
As the FirstGen Collective continues to grow, our purpose remains the same: to create apparel and visuals that honor legacy, uplift community, and keep representation at the forefront.
Because our stories deserve to be seen.
And our journeys deserve to be worn.
