About New Chapter Tees
💛 Our Story
New Chapter Tees was born from more than just a love of design — it was born from a season of growth, gratitude, and choosing to build something meaningful together.
We’re Jay and Ryan — partners in life and partners in business. What started as conversations about creativity, fresh starts, and stepping into a new season slowly became this brand.
“New Chapter” isn’t just a name. It reflects where we are in life — choosing growth, choosing intention, choosing each other, and choosing to build something side by side.
This business isn’t just about tees.
It’s about the chapter we’re living in right now.
👤 Meet Jay
Jay is the spark, the personality, and the playful heartbeat of New Chapter Tees.
She’s quick-witted, expressive, and proudly childlike in the best way — the kind of person who still lights up over cartoons and gets genuinely excited about dinosaurs. (Yes, the obsession is real.)
She’s a big foodie, a lover of experiences, and someone who believes life should be fun, colorful, and full of personality. She brings bold ideas, humor, and creative momentum into every collection.
Jay loves music, pop culture, arts and crafts, and sewing — creativity has always been part of who she is. She’s also a proud mom to one incredible adult daughter who works behind the scenes at New Chapter Tees, helping bring the vision to life.
Above all, she’s deeply in love with Ryan and deeply grateful for the life they’re building together.
If there’s a design that makes you smile — there’s a good chance Jay had something to do with it.
👤 Meet Ryan
Ryan is the evolved, mindful foundation behind New Chapter Tees.
He’s aware, respectful, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful — the kind of man who’s in love with life and completely in love with Jay. He brings grounding energy, intention, and depth to everything they build together.
He’s a super dad to two amazing adult kids and holds family — both immediate and extended — close to his heart.
Ryan’s main passion is golf, but he also loves snowboarding, music, and meaningful conversations about words and what they truly represent. He believes words matter. Meaning matters. Intention matters.
Where Jay brings spark and playful energy, Ryan brings presence, clarity, and refinement. He helps shape ideas into something lasting.
He doesn’t just support the vision — he strengthens it.
👕 Why We Started
We wanted to create designs that represent:
• Growth
• Second chances
• Fresh starts
• Humor and personality
• Creative self-expression
From playful dinosaur graphics (yes, that’s Jay) to expressive, meaningful details (that’s Ryan’s influence), every collection carries pieces of both of us.
This brand is our way of turning who we are into something tangible.
Something wearable.
Something that reflects personality and growth at the same time.
🤝 Building This Together
Working together has taught us:
• Patience
• Communication
• Balance
• How to laugh when things don’t go as planned
Jay brings the fun and fearless creativity.
Ryan brings the grounded, intentional perspective.
Together, we balance energy and depth. Playfulness and purpose. Vision and stability.
And that balance shows up in every design we release.
🌿 More Than Just Tees
New Chapter Tees is about:
Wearing your personality.
Celebrating your growth.
Starting fresh when life calls for it.
Because every season of life deserves a new chapter.
And we’re so grateful you’re here for ours.
With love,
Jay & Ryan
