About Mojo
The idea for Mojo came to Bradley during his freshman year when he realized the influence clothing brands had on students' perspectives of each other. He wanted to create a brand that encompassed the true personality of each individual. Bradley further explained,
“People are like onions, they have many different layers and aspects to their personalities. We want Mojo to represent that.â€
That same year, Bradley was introduced to Timothee at a Greek Life event. He shared his idea with Timothee and the duo began Mojo Culture.ÌýThe duo decided on the name Mojo Culture as opposed to Mojo Apparel because they want to create a community rather than just showcase their brand. In addition to creating clothing, they also produce a variety of video edits and host events that encourage individualism.
Bradley focuses on creating drawings, animations, and shirt designs for Mojo Culture. He also assists Timothee with sales efforts. Timothee manages Mojo Culture'sÌýwebsite and production operations.
