A clothing brand by Francisco Galt. Every design came from a place worth protecting, and every sale gave back to it.
“Newton's first law claims that an object in motion stays in motion… What science class failed to elaborate on is that these laws apply to the human spirit. People who are in motion tend to have things go their way, tend to succeed, and tend to be happier.”
Each piece has a hand-drawn graphic of a place, was shot on location when possible, and sent part of its profit to a nonprofit that protects that place.
For every item, Don't Sit Still chose an organization that protects the place the design was based on, and donated monthly from each item's revenue. A separate share of profit went to fighting carbon emissions and plastic pollution, so each shirt did more good than the cost of making and shipping it.
“I have a strong love for travel, photography, style, and creation. I believe in the idea that motion, even seemingly meaningless, creates opportunity… I hope to inspire those who are on the fence about their dreams to commit to their aspirations as I am attempting to now.”
Don't Sit Still started with one idea: motion creates. I wanted to make clothes from the places I love and have every piece give something back to them. Over 2026 that became 11 designs, 10 places and 9 nonprofits, all built while I was in college.
As I graduate and move into what's next, I'm closing the shop, but not the idea. Thank you to everyone who wore one, shared one, or told me to keep going. Keep moving.
