Meet Jonas Mocha | Designer, Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jonas Mocha and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jonas, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
It all starts with an idea and a concept, Ask yourself
“what am I good at”?
“Would i get bored of this”
“What’s my end goal”
Once you have answered all these questions it will be easier to come up

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Started KARMA in early 2018 with $38.50 in my bank account. I just knew that I had to keep going, I was working regular jobs to get by I was living in misery, couch hopping just trying to figure it all out, not having any money to invest in my business I had to get pretty creative so I would use rubber stamps and. Stencils to print on my first couple of garments

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love Soho where it all started, I used to sit in front of the vfiles store for hours just people watching and smoking weed. I love it there! I love New York but there is something magical about the beautiful street if soho

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to give a huge shoutout to my girlfriends family who supported my ideas from day 1 and did nothing but helping me elevate. I would like to give a huge shoutout to my European brother from another mother Emanuel Ricci, owner of Muso Kuso who’s the first one in this industry who believed in the potential and connected me with the right individuals giving me a platform
