OUR STORY

umano is a platform to discover, celebrate, shop and share kid’s art.
 
kids draw the art, and with every product you purchase, umano will hand-deliver a backpack full of art supplies to empower a kid to unleash their creativity.

“you don’t have to choose between doing well and doing good.”
- alex torrey, brother + c.e.o.

that feeling you get when you know you just discovered what you were put on this earth to do -- that’s the feeling my brother jonathan and I had on 15 october 2011 when we started umano in our parent's garage. since then, we've been on a rollercoaster journey to fulfill our mission to empower kids to unleash their creativity.

inspired by the raw confidence in a kid’s drawing, we design every silhouette detail, handpick the world’s most freakishly soft fabrics—down to the yarn—and screen print the brand’s signature Kartwork (kid's + Artwork) by hand to create our elevated fashion basics. learn more about our product

kids draw the art and we supply the canvas. our product stands on its own to promote our undying belief in the unlimited potential of a kid’s imagination and that art inspires kids to create their own path. we passionately believe that art education is not about learning to draw; it’s about learning to see. that's why umano is rooted in giving back, inspiring creativity, and showcasing the brilliance of kids. learn more about our giving
