KTS student Isaiah Hamilton, and his mother, Tiffany Hamilton, have had a very busy year. Tiffany developed a new business concept of “activewear with a purpose”, and with Isaiah playing an integral role, brought the idea to life. Together they co-founded Victor Wear--a line of inspirational tee shirts, sweatshirts, and other activewear created with the goal of providing employment and other opportunities to the Autism community. "We want this to be a big successful brand that is primarily run and operated by people with disabilities," Tiffany told 7News, on a story focused on Victor Wear (https://bit.ly/408nzK4).

Isaiah has flourished and applied entrepreneurial skills and instincts he did not know he possessed. He helps with the company's social media pages and designed the logo for Victor Wear. "I drew V, W and then after that a graphic designer finalized it," Isaiah said.
