About The Creator

Built from the ground up by Luis Martinez, MERAKI was never just about clothes, it was about creating something that could move people.

From printing shirts in a small empty apartment in Indianapolis, IN to building a community that embodies discipline, pressure, and growth, Louie’s story reflects the same message MERAKI stands for:

putting your soul into the work and trusting the process.

MERAKI was born from the struggle - built through long nights, setbacks, and relentless belief.

Every drop, every design, every word is a reflection of that journey.

This isn’t just apparel.

It’s a piece of the process.
