our story

Founded by jeremy o'brian, Short Story University is poetry you can wear. Our spiral-headed figure—the Messenger of Love—offers its heart as a reminder to stay open, to give bravely, and to honor the first time you dared to love. Born from my music and plays, each design carries the truth that “everything is love.” This isn’t just merch—it’s a movement to keep vulnerability alive in a world that needs it more than ever.
