MORPH & THRO ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
With a combined 13 NFL seasons and a few years in the fashion modeling industry, we witnessed first hand the dominating grasp less-sustainable brands have on sports and fashion. So we founded Morph & Thro out of what we felt was a necessity. From our days back at Notre Dame and through our time in the NFL, we knew we wanted and needed to create a company that stood for more than just margins and bottom lines. We wanted to create a company that could ignite a movement toward a more sustainable and socially beneficial future. We wanted this movement to eventually touch everyone in a way that makes them rethink how things are done versus how things should be done.
