The REBEL8 Crew
This is REBEL8.
I. Joshy D. - I started this brand in 2003 when I was 23 years old. I didn't start with much and I'm sure you already know the $500 story. I'm extremely thankful for all of your support. It's unquestionable that I'm allowed to live out my dreams because of you. Thank you for being a REBEL8er!
II. Mike Giant - I was officially REBEL8's first employee when Joshy got the brand started back in 2003. I'm also the only employee that doesn't work at the warehouse. Since day one it's been my job to draw stuff for Joshy to put on t-shirts and stuff. And my job hasn't changed much at all since then, which is rad. It's the best job I've ever had. And I work with the best crew.
III. Sarah Noel - I was hired on as a graphic and apparel designer at REBEL8 back in 2008. Having previously worked for the "man", I'm proud to call this dysfunctional family my home.
IV. Kimi Yuki - I started at REBEL8 as an intern in 2007, and was hired as a full time employee in 2008. I work as an assistant designer and have a black belt in karate. I'm a Sagittarius, but not a true Sagittarius. So do what you will with that information. If I could have anything in the world, it would be a blank check, like that kid in that one Disney movie. I line my pockets with ziploc baggies everywhere I go in hopes of leftovers, just like the chauffeur in Blank Check!
V. Ramon Alatorre - I started working at REBEL8 in 2010. I feel lucky and stoked to be working for one the most amazing artists and brands.
VI. Ricky Rainin - I've been here 2 years. I am proud to have a part in such an amazing company and to help all of you incredible people out when you need it. I like you. Seriously.
VII. Doug Weber - I came on board with REBEL8 part time in 2009 for the holidays to help ship orders. Soon after that I was brought on full time to handle all shipping and receiving. Within the last few months I moved over to sales, and now I've been getting to go all over and visit our accounts, building a personal relationship with all of our buyers. It's been a pretty cool experience to start at the bottom and work my way up through the company. We are a tight knit group and all get a long really well.
VIII. Kanin - I like to party.
Although not photoed, we can't forget Vitti! Thee original Lady 8er.
