Our Story

Hi, my name is Carter Hurd, and I'm the owner of CARTISM. I'm also autistic.

Growing up, I was often bullied for being different and not fitting in with the so-called "cooler kids". Many times, I felt left out and overlooked. Those experiences had left a lasting impact on me, and they inspired me to create something meaningful.

I started CARTISM as a clothing brand for people who've felt like I did-different, misunderstood, or excluded. My goal is to empower individuals to feel confident, accepted, and proud of who they are.

Through this brand, I want to spread awareness about autism, bullying, and the importance of self-love and acceptance for everyone.
