One of One.
Custom apparel and creative direction by Justin M. McCahren.
At J. Atomic
I believe apparel is not about trends or labels, it is about helping you feel empowered in your own skin. One man, one heat press, one vision, every piece designed with intention and pressed by hand.
J. Atomic Designs is the studio of Justin M. McCahren, an artist, poet, and designer working out of the DMV. Alongside the apparel, Justin is releasing a book of poetry in October and offers creative consultation for makers and small brands finding their voice.

Field Notes, Poetry collection, October
"A garment, a stanza, a sign. Each made once, set down with care, and sent into the world to do its quiet work."
Justin M. McCahren
Kind Words
Voices from the studio.
A few notes from the people who have worn, hung, and read the work.
“Justin treated my commission like a piece of art. The tee feels like it was made for me, because it was.”
“Working with J. Atomic on our brand identity was the most intentional creative process we have ever been through.”
“You can feel the spirit in every stitch. This is not merch, it is a body of work.”
