We founded Restored Athletic in 2020 through our unique partnership. As a Clinical Psychology PhD and Professor, I brought scientific understanding of human wellbeing. My co-founder, an artist skilled in multiple creative mediums, contributed versatile artistic vision. We set out to create clothing that was well-made, thoughtful, and purposeful. Reflecting on our childhood selves, life journeys, and the faith that sustained us, we asked a powerful question during the pandemic: What if premium apparel could serve as both artistic expression and a daily reminder of purpose and restoration?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We've created something distinctive—apparel that honors the journey, not just the destination. Our approach celebrates the authentic self through thoughtful design and meaningful symbolism. With a faith-based perspective at our core, we bring strength and purpose to life's most challenging terrain, reminding you that even difficult paths lead to meaningful destinations.

New York City became our calling—the place where our vision would take physical form. The city's relentless creativity and diverse perspectives push our designs forward, while our foundational values keep us grounded. We're cultivating a community where mental wellness, faith, and creativity converge, with plans for podcasts, educational resources, and meaningful initiatives on the horizon.A portion of our sales allows us to develop educational initiatives and support communities in need, ensuring that each purchase contributes to our ongoing work—creating ripples of positive change through sustainable growth.

Our mascot Bilford™ represents all who have felt lost at sea, navigating life's unpredictable waters. Sometimes the longest detours lead to the most meaningful destinations. Bilford reminds us that even when we feel adrift, we might actually be sailing toward our true purpose—a philosophy woven throughout our collections.
