My name is Ricky. I am a self taught graphic designer, screen printer & photographer. Everything featured on this website was designed in house. From the product images, to the graphic design images featured in ''heavy art'' 

Stay Heavy was born in 2014. I wanted to make a brand with products that could be considered timeless. Stay Heavy means stay who you are. At the time of making the brand, I felt that people's perception changed too easily based off other people's opinion. This is one of the reasons I chose the name ''Stay Heavy'' 

Stay Heavy means being organic, genuine & natural. We never force our art or our process and because of that, I have taken multiple hiatuses in the past to find my sense of purpose with stay heavy. 

Today, Stay Heavy is more than just a brand. It's a statement to the people who wear it, be yourself. No matter who is watching.
