Hi!!! My name is Ria! I started Bolt in 2020 when I was 18. I loved weightlifting because it made me feel rebellious. In a world that told me otherwise, I knew I could be strong. Powerful. Badass. And most importantly, bold.

Bolt is for everyone who finds themselves most empowered breaking the mold, standing out, making noise, and taking up space. Just like a lightning bolt. All of my designs feature a lightning bolt, some are more hidden Easter eggs than others. But it's your reminder to be bold, in everything, even when it’s scary. Especially when it’s scary, because that’s how you grow.

Bolt exists because I chose boldness before being ready. I interjected myself in conversations for the sake of no missed opportunities. I spent more than I had. I filmed awkward content with strangers. Bolt is what it is because I couldn’t build a bold brand without living it.

Despite losses, depression, and obstacles, lightning still lives within me. I pray no matter how long it's been since you've lit the match, Bolt can remind you of the power of your light within you.
