Our story
Three passions. One company.
Alan ChungFounder and Creative DirectorBorn in Los Angeles and raised between LA and Vietnam. Former varsity player. Founded Hemero in 2013 and still sets the creative direction for every program we outfit.
Every team deserves its own look. That one idea started Hemero in Los Angeles in 2013.
A note from Alan
Basketball came first. I was a fan before I could shoot, then a player. I played varsity at Army and Navy Academy, and I still remember what it felt like to pull on a jersey that was ours.
Design came next. The crest on a chest. The cut of a number. The colors a whole school rallies behind. Then business: building something that lasts and keeps its word. Hemero is where those three meet.
Making things runs in my family. I learned early that a great design only counts if it’s made right and shows up on time. That is still the standard here.
That standard took us from local gyms to the Drew League in South Central and Rucker Park in Harlem. Today we outfit high schools, clubs, pro-ams, women’s leagues and national teams across the Pacific and Southeast Asia. We design every look in-house, make it in our own facility, and stay with each program from the first design to game day.
If you run a program, here is my promise: you will always reach a real person, and we will be straight with you about your dates.
