Founder Story

I didn’t set out to build a brand. I set out to face fear.

When I climb, fear has never felt like the enemy. Even in the sketchy moments, I felt something closer to trust — in myself, in the movement, in the wall. That freedom is what hooked me, and it’s what I want others to feel too.

I’ve seen fear freeze people mid-route — hands shaking, chalk spilling, eyes locked on a move they don’t believe they can make. It’s not always strength or technical ability that holds them back. It’s fear in control. And I get it. We all feel it.

 Fear is built into us. But it’s not weakness. It’s the signal that you’re standing at the edge of something real.

LAWZA isn’t just my story. It’s for anyone who feels fear but chooses to move anyway.
