About Us

Founder, Frequency, and the Force Behind Current Wave Co.

I’m not a fashion designer.

I’m not here to sell you clothes.

I’m here to transmit truth — through fabric, through frequency, through something deeper than style.

My Name Is Stephen Jao

I grew up on Long Island, where the New York hustle is the default mindset.

Before this brand, I worked deep inside the machine — as a validation engineer and project manager in Big Pharma, with a well-versed background in the process industries.

My hands, eyes, ears, and intuition were involved in systems the world doesn’t see… but I did.

I saw the patterns. I saw the pressure. I saw how the process quietly erodes the soul.

I was given pieces most souls never see — so that when the time came, I could remember and connect the dots.

To stabilize chaos.

To lead the shift.

To validate systems and solve problems.

The Breaking Point

For years, I played by the rules.

But something inside me refused to accept the routine drilled into society.

One day, I realized: if I stuck to the routine, all I’d lose was time — and all I’d gain was regret for not building something of my own.

So I walked away from comfort and into chaos.

I believed growth required sacrifice. I chased the hustle, left my comfort zone — and in the process, I lost time as a father and a son that I’ll never get back.

The financial stress cracked me open. I realized how much I had invested into something... and how much it cost me in presence with my family.

What followed was a full internal reset. A release of everything I’d held inside.

I was left with no other option but to become who they always needed — and spend every day refining, giving back, and rising in integrity.

This Brand Isn’t Just Business

This is my resistance to the world we’re living in.

A signal for what’s quietly unfolding and rising.

Current Wave Co. is authentic leadership — earned in silence, through experience, and forged under the pressure of the Atlantic.

It’s not just a brand. It’s a force. 

A Familiar Frequency Remembered

This isn’t strategy. It’s energy. The truth doesn't need the algorithm.

This brand is my offering to a world drowning in noise, fakeness, and corporate control.

Every design. Every word. Every drop.

It’s all a signal — for the misfits, the visionaries, the quiet rebels who know they were sent here for more.

Current Wave Co. Is for Those Who Feel the Shift

For those who suffer in silence, but lead with alignment.

For those who wear clothing not to impress, but to express.

For those who know their gear is armor, energy, and message.

This Isn’t Playing the Game — It’s Rewriting It

I didn’t start this brand to win the game.

I started it to rewrite the entire system.

To stand against.

To lead a movement of people who know that purpose is more powerful than profit.

To broadcast truth.

To offer guidance.

This Isn't Imitation. It's Imprinted.

You’ll see similar missions. Similar branding.

But none of them are built like this. 

This Is a Blueprint for Something Bigger

Most brands are chasing peace. Chasing sales. 

Current Wave Co. is community first and purpose driven.

We are pulling in key players — not customers — to build a new-world technology hub, a sustainability hub, a living community where everyone’s purpose is a direct contribution.

For the awakened. For the remembering. For the builders of what comes next.

If this resonates with you — I’m waiting for your message.

Powered by the current. Designed to locate others.

The wave is real.

And it’s only getting stronger.
