“When the Pressure to be a TEN is out of this world…just try to be a 9…” —ASTRO 9 A local family run business and clothing brand trademarked in 2024.
All shirts are designed by Grady and Jacie, local sibling artists. (Grady is 21, college soccer player) + (Jacie is 23, a painter living in Hawaii)
The bro/sis collab is a true passion project and joint mission to help raise awareness and end the stigma surrounding mental health, especially teens and young men who are the most likely to avoid seeking help.🖤

A LITTLE BACKGROUND—
Grady began making shirts in the winter of 2023 during senior year of high school, and immediately started reproducing his designs for others who wanted the shirt he was wearing. Fast forward to 2026, he and his parents have since heat-pressed over 6,000 shirts in their West Des Moines home. A passion project to spread positivity and hopefully help encourage those we all walk by who are struggling in silence. End the stigma. Especially surrounding young men, teens, who are least likely to speak up about feelings.
(Jacie Daisy) is Grady’s older sister.
A painter living in Honolulu. The two are combining forces to create shirts that bring Grady’s messages with Jacie’s artistic talent. (NO AI HERE!) all shirts are uploaded images of Jacie’s canvas paintings, or Grady’s graphic designs from the last 3 years. 🧑🚀🩶🚀

*jacie was Kid Captain for Iowa Football in 2012.
Overcoming a wheelchair in kindergarten as well as a broken neck in 7th grade, she has fought hard against juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The majority of her life was spent with paints, sidewalk chalk, crayons or makers in her hands, as art was the only thing “safe” for a kiddo most of the time who is battling severe arthritis. (This is how she got so good at painting!) 🌟🎨💕🌊 YEARS of monthly infusions in Iowa City Children’s Hospital. 💛🖤
