Cole began designing menswear at a young age, armed with a notebook, a pack of pens, and inspiration drawn from the world around him. Around the same time, he discovered skateboarding—an influence that has remained deeply intertwined with his creative process.

He earned a degree in Apparel Design and Merchandising from San Francisco State University, with a minor in Graphic Design. Today, Cole lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area, where his designs continue to reflect a balance of function, movement, and self-expression.
