I created Utah Strong to support my friends who were strongman and powerlifting athletes, both locally and internationally. We organized fundraisers to help cover their competition costs like flights, hotels, and food. Inspired by their dedication, I started Utah Strong to facilitate fundraising through custom designs that resonated with the athletes. These designs were promoted on social media, where friends and family bought merchandise to show support. Most of the profits went directly to the athletes’ competition expenses.

Being part of this community and watching it grow was an incredible experience. Below are some highlights of our collaborations and the merchandise we created.
