How it started.

humanKIND was founded by Lisa Cohen, a Chicagoland native who needed to find a way to help support her family while also working from home. Driven by a desire to feed her creative passion, Lisa switched careers to t-shirt design. Her focus has always been on spreading messages of kindness and inclusivity. humanKIND is her way of creating a space where others can also share their messages.

How it's going.

Today, humanKIND is thriving, selling a wide range of unique designs. Our most rewarding experiences come from our partnerships. We take great pride in working with schools, camps, and organizations to bring their ideas to life. Personal connections are at the heart of what we do, ensuring our partners receive the best possible support from our team. This dedication is what puts the "KIND" in our name.

Where we're headed.

Our goal is to deliver the best results and experiences for our clients, a mission shared by all the amazing people who work with us. We aim to expand our community of partners, enabling more people to spread messages of kindness and achieve their goals of making the world a better place.
