Saiyen Clothing was founded by Jayke, born in 1999 in Gosford and raised in Western Sydney. From a young age, Jayke discovered his passion for art, especially drawing.

 At just five years old, his fascination with the iconic TV show *Dragon Ball Z* ignited his creativity, and he began drawing the characters from the show, even imagining himself as a Super Saiyan. By the time he was nine, Jayke was expressing his artistic talents through painting, bringing his visions to life on canvas. His love for graffiti culture also took root during his youth, inspiring him to explore different styles & fonts.

It was a family friend who suggested he sign his artwork to make it recognizable, and that's when the name "Saiyan" originally started. As a child, Jayke was so drawn to the power and energy of the Saiyan characters that he adopted the name for his artistic signature. However, after it already the name established, he eventually tweaked the name, changing the "A" to an "E," and "Saiyen" was created. Feeling like something was birthed for him.

At the age of 12, Jayke’s path took another turn when a friend’s father, who owned a screen printing business, introduced him to the world of custom apparel. Jayke was immediately captivated by the process of transferring ideas onto clothing, and when his friend’s dad suggested he could start his own brand, Jayke knew exactly what to call it. In 2014, he created his first shirt by designing a logo, cutting it out with a steak knife from the cover of his school book, and spray-painting the stencil onto a shirt.

A few months later, Jayke invested his savings in a vinyl cutter and heat press, taking his passion to the next level. He began purchasing blank clothing and adding his own logos, working tirelessly late into the night—sometimes pulling all-nighters—only to head to school the next morning on no sleep. His obsession with perfecting his craft fueled his determination, and over time, Jayke realized that what started as a hobby had the potential to become a full-fledged business. He was surprised to see the brand grow organically, with people—from childhood friends to complete strangers—asking about his clothing simply because they saw others wearing it.

Looking back, Jayke is deeply grateful for the support he’s received over the years—from those who bought his designs to those who offered kind words or requested custom pieces. The love and encouragement from the community have been humbling, and Jayke is more inspired than ever.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. Im only just getting started.

One Love, Jayke 💙
