Hello!

the artist behind Jaysbrains—a name that reflects my passion for storytelling, surreal and curious illustration, and now locally made craftsmanship. After years in the printing and apparel industry, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for exceptionally made garments and an obsession with print and fabric blank quality.

Grimalta, my apparel line, is an extension of that vision. The name blends Grimaldi—the town tied to my Italian roots—with Alta, meaning "elevated." It speaks not only to my high-altitude home in the Rocky Mountains but also to the elevated quality behind every piece. Each design is born in the heart of the Rockies, inspired by the town I live in and proudly made in Canada. I approach every detail like a picky designer and a stickler for quality, making sure this isn’t your typical mass-produced gift shop tee.

​

With nearly 10 years of experience in graphic design and over seven years in the custom printing industry, I’ve focused my work to creating bold designs with an exceptional attention to detail that only someone with my level of experience could carry on to this line of work.

Every piece is not only designed and printed locally but is also made using Canadian company-sourced blanks, ensuring that our products support homegrown businesses while keeping production close to home. Now more than ever, we believe in the importance of  Canadian-made.
