Our Story

*

Our Story *

OVTOG was born from a simple truth: Blackpool has incredible young people with amazing potential, but too many face challenges that shouldn't define their future.

With over 10,000 families living in poverty in our town, we knew we had to do something different. Instead of just talking about change, we decided to create it - one piece of clothing, one story, one young person at a time.

Every piece of clothing we sell isn't just fashion - it's a statement that every young person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. That's why 100% of our profits go directly into youth-led initiatives.

Jessica Jones

“ I’m Jess, graphic designer, digital creator, and all round creative behind Present Posters in Blackpool. I specialise in expressive graphics and full brand identities, from logos and colour palettes to social media templates, brand assets, and print support.

My work is rooted in accessibility, storytelling, and community. I’ve helped small businesses develop their first brand identity, supported community cafés and grassroots projects with design that boosts their visibility, and created artwork that’s been showcased and sold across Blackpool. I also produce digital content and resources that people use to grow their own creative ideas.

Alongside my design work, I host Friday Collective — a weekly meetup focused on creativity, connection, and making everyone feel welcome.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple aim: to uplift others, share meaningful design, and create spaces where creativity feels open to everyone."

GUEST CREATIVE

ARTIST CLARA WOOD

Everyone please say Hi! to the quite simply amazing Clara Wood. We recently came across Clara’s work which is stunning, and could not think of anybody more amazing to be our first ‘Youth international Creative’ . We will let Clara take over now in her own words please after you have browsed OVTOG follow the links to Clara’s website to look and buy her stunning work! Thank you Clara for allowing us to be part of your amazing journey.

Sometimes people tell me I shouldn’t dream so big

That is because I can’t speak, so I should “stay quiet.” But I don’t want to stay quiet. I want to paint louder. I had a stroke in my mom's womb. The doctors told us my life would be a nightmare. But here I am — building my future. Even though I can’t speak, read, or write, I understand three languages. I guess my brain found its own way to communicate. I’m writing this with the help of my mom (my business partner and my biggest cheerleader) and ChatGPT. Painting became my language. It’s how I share everything I can’t say with words — my love, my anger, my hope, and my joy. Because even if my voice sounds different, I want you to hear me.

Our impact

We are currently in the middle of donating to small local charities or organizations that make a huge difference in our community. December has already seen us donate to STAR Blackpool which is a mental health support organisation in our town.

STAR was chosen, as all are donations are by our youth cohort. They see the value in what STAR are trying to achieve and wanted to help.

They have already chosen two more organisations who will be receiving donations soon!
