The Story Behind the Tidekeeper Tee
The Tidekeeper
What tidepools taught me about the ocean, and about slowing down
I’ve spent hours wandering tidepools along the California coast. It’s easy to miss what’s in those quiet places. But if you stop long enough, you’ll see life everywhere. Tiny crabs darting sideways, snails pressed tight to rocks, anemones blooming. Little mollusks I can’t name, but still remember. The tide leaves behind a whole world, waiting to be noticed.
Why I Created the Tidekeeper Tee
This shirt is inspired by those early tidepool walks, and the way they taught me to look more closely. To pause. To pay attention.
I called it the Tidekeeper because that’s how it felt to stand still while the ocean moved around me. Holding space for what the tide leaves behind. Fragile, beautiful, alive.
It’s also about rhythm. The tide always returns. It ebbs, it flows. We can learn something from that.
A Piece for Ocean Souls
The Tidekeeper design is part of the Tidebound Collection, and every purchase supports marine conservation. But more than that, I hope it reminds you to stay close to what matters, even when it’s small or slow or easy to overlook.
