EPI - Wiley Wakeman, Wakeman

In the first episode of the Neurovation Podcast, we meet Wiley Wakeman, a music student whose quarantine hobby turned into an up-and-coming fashion brand. The brand, Wakeman, named after Wiley’s last name, focuses on retelling the stories of the past by upcycling garments or fabrics and creating new pieces. Further, Wiley delves into his neurodiversity by sharing how dyslexia has impacted his life as an individual, a musician, and an entrepreneur. His curiosity, creative tendency, and ability to envision final products before sewing pieces together are at the essence of his work.
