In this episode, we sit down with Rae (they/them) , founder of Origami Customs - a trans and gender-diverse clothing brand and community program built by queer and trans people, for queer and trans people. Rae shares what it’s like creating gender-affirming fashion that actually fits, building a team rooted in community care, and running a global program that provides life-changing products to those facing financial and systemic barriers.
We dive into identity, craft, and the joy that comes from making people feel at home in their own bodies. Rae’s story is a reminder that community isn’t just something you join — it’s something you build stitch by stitch, with intention, compassion, and a whole lot of queer brilliance.
