About
If you live it, if you lived it, you are in it. Nobody founded Club 814.
There are so many of us — those State College years, the whole thing.
We just made it something you can wear.

I didn't create Club 814 — the 814 did, in all of us who lived it. I just brought my design studio to the feeling and translated it: clean, minimal, elevated, fun and happy but cool.
Design-led. Small-run. Intentional. Clean typography, elevated style, minimal design — bold but understated and cool.
Like so many, I lived the 814, and it never left my heart or soul. Club 814 is where I get to combine my passion for graphic design with... my passion for the 814. A clean, minimal aesthetic. Clothes for the people who… get it.

State College — right now. So lucky.
Sophia is living the 814 in real time. A figure skater and marketing major, she's lucky enough to be right in the middle of her era — the games, the winters, the ice, the HUB lawn in the spring, the whole thing — and she knows lucky she is to be living it.
The 814. Sophia is in it. Same place, same feeling, a generation apart. The 814 gets passed down, never outgrown. She keeps Club 814 true to itself: designed by someone who lived it, guided by someone living it.
Four generations of business.
Two generations of the 814.
one foundation of trust.
We're the fourth generation of our families working together. Our grandfathers did real estate deals on a handshake — on trust, their word, and doing right by people. Those values have been ingrained into our families. Club 814 is built on the same foundation: relationships over transactions, trust, quality, authenticity, heart, and doing things the right way.
