Hi. My name is Jacob Rist

I am an entrepreneur and designer currently based in Vermont and Copenhagen. I have spent the past 10 years growing a sticker production company in Burlington, Vermont, and am now looking to begin the next chapter of my career in Denmark.

Although the nature of a fast-growing, entrepreneurial adventure does not often allow for much free time, I pride myself on taking advantage of all the time I have. I spent most of my evenings and weekends hiking, camping, and traveling.

In between all of that, I have continued to follow my passion in design and apparel through this project, kval studios. With the help of my education and connections through work, I have been able to connect the dots and make something that is undoubtedly me.

Through developing concepts digitally and physically, working with manufacturers, sewing and eventually bringing concepts to life, I have gained a unique skill set that has allowed me to be in touch with all of my creations.
