The HERO[Series] is a veteran-and-designer collaboration that creates meaningful designs that each represent a veteran’s story and message.

Their design is produced into American-made products accompanied by their story, enabling the community to support each veteran while also helping to further share their story with those around them.

Co-founded by a U.S. Navy Veteran & a Designer

After meeting over coffee in 2010, they realized the disconnect between their two worlds.

For more than a decade, [HAS HEART] has been partnering veterans with creatives to help share their stories through art & design.

After several years of partnering veterans with designers locally in Grand Rapids, MI, [HAS HEART] was determined to create a greater impact throughout the US, taking its HERO[series] project concept across the country from 2017-2019 to partner a veteran with a designer in every state.

Thus far, the project has reached 39 states, completed 41 projects, has worked with 50 veterans and 123 creatives, and has launched 15 designs. By 2025, [HAS HEART] hopes to visit the remaining 11 states. But, we need your support.
