About Us

My name is Jabari Vaughn, a 22-year-old aspiring fashion designer, former Division I athlete, and just a chill guy from Tracy, California. Creative Being is more than a clothing brand. Everyone carries creativity in their own way, shaped by personal experiences and unique perspectives on the world. You are more than just a human being.

I officially started designing clothes in 2025, but this isn’t my first time building a brand. My first clothing brand began back in 8th grade when I was just 12 years old. Yes, I was making mockups before I could even get braces. At the time, I knew fashion was my passion, I just didn’t realize I was ahead of my time. I released 3 shirts and learned early what it meant to believe in an idea before the resources existed. The only reason I stopped was funding. I was raking leaves around my neighborhood to keep the brand alive.

The word “Being” came to me this past semester (Fall 2025) in my Agency Philosophy course, which focused on finding one’s purpose and recognizing how to utilize it. During the course, we read a book called “On Becoming a Person”, by Carl Rogers, a book centered around existentialism, the act of existing in the world. Being aware. Being present. Being an inspiration. Being a person. Being Creative. That idea became the foundation of Creative Being. Creative Being exists to express one’s journey: the early belief, the setbacks, and the growth. It’s not about changing who you are, but becoming more of who you’ve always been.

I appreciate all the love and support.
