At 1 Time Lab, chaos isn’t a bug — it’s the feature. We’re not here to play it safe or follow trends. This is where ideas collide, sparks fly, and the results end up on tees, hoodies, mugs, or whatever canvas we feel like blowing up that day.

Our Experimental Expression

Think of the Lab as a test kitchen for creativity. We mash up humor, nostalgia, bold graphics, and a healthy dose of “what happens if we just try this?” Every design is a little experiment in expression — and the best part? You get to wear the results.

Welcome to the Lab

The Story Behind the Madness

I’m Mike — the mind (and occasional mad scientist) behind 1 Time Lab. My inspiration doesn’t come from some sterile studio. It comes from late nights, loud laughs, and everyday chaos with my family:

  • Liz, my partner-in-crime who keeps me grounded (most of the time).

  • Niko, our 5-year-old inventor and chaos engine, who can turn a lawn chair and a toy tractor into a piece of engineering genius.

  • Luna, our boxer with more energy than sense, who pretty much runs quality control by knocking over anything in her path.

What started as a creative outlet turned into a movement: a way to channel all the madness, humor, and raw imagination into designs that speak for themselves.

Behind the Scenes

The Lab isn’t polished, and it isn’t perfect — and that’s the point. Some days it’s sketchpads and coffee. Other days it’s wrangling dogs while juggling Photoshop files. But every piece we make comes straight from the synapse to your sleeve.

Why We Do It

We believe self-expression shouldn’t be boring. It should make people double-take, laugh, or even question your sanity a little. Life’s too short for bland tees.

Join the Experiment

The Lab isn’t just ours — it’s yours too. Every shirt, hoodie, or mug is an invitation to wear your mood, your humor, your madness. So grab something that speaks to you, and let’s keep pushing the experiment forward.
