Creative and Marketing Director — Founding Partner

Named after the Japanese philosophy of harmonious ‘flow’ required for optimal design in any medium, Nagare's initial product launch features a modest collection of boardshorts honoring the equally important design principle that form should always follow function, and that a great pair of boardshorts are essentially surfing equipment.

NAGARE co-founders Dino Sakelliou and Lee Jakobs are long-time collaborators and lifelong surfers, and are passionate about building a lifestyle brand around their love of surfing and their other shared interests particularly in the world of design across all products.

NAGARE is dedicated to creating unique products with limited production runs, hopefully a welcomed change. NAGARE. function.form.flow
