Meets Design
Where imagination
Our Story
intro
Patch Adams Designs is the culmination of a creative journey that began with a spark of inspiration and has grown into a thriving design studio. At the heart of our story is our founder, Chauncy Adams, whose path into the world of design was shaped by a pivotal moment in his childhood.
The Journey
From a young age, Chauncy was captivated by his mother’s meticulous attention to fashion and interior design, sparking an early interest. However, it was a fateful encounter in 2006 in the vibrant city of Las Vegas that truly set his journey into motion.
During this time, Chauncy was influenced by his roommate, Simon Hayag, a talented graphic designer and tattoo artist. Simon’s creativity and unique style opened Chauncy’s eyes to the boundless possibilities of imagination and the power of turning ideas into reality.
Their shared living space became a training ground for Chauncy's journey into design. Watching Simon navigate tools like Illustrator and Photoshop captivated Chauncy, igniting a passion that would later lead to the creation of Patch Adams Designs.
The Evolution
In 2007, back in San Diego and armed with determination, Chauncy immersed himself in mastering Photoshop and Illustrator. Within six months, he ventured into the fashion industry with 'Thesis,' a denim-focused brand. This experience taught him that building a brand takes time and perseverance.
Relocating to North County, Chauncy deepened his skills in graphic design and screen printing, eventually establishing a printing company in his garage. 'Clever and the Raw' was born, merging screen printing expertise with graphic design services. This venture laid the foundation for what Patch Adams Designs has become today.
