Dylan Garft

BIO:

Dylan brings a wealth of experience in marketing and design.

As a father to three daughters aged 7, 4, and 2, my weekends are filled with daddy-daughter adventures, and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I manage to carve out some me-time, I head for the door. I love to be outdoors and you’ll find me training for ultra marathons or surfing.

With over 10 years in the action sports industry, he founded his own design agency, Onestone Creative Agency. It was during this time that he crossed paths with Luke Zocchi - Chris Hemsworths personal trainer, leading to the creation of SIPP INSTANT. After a roller coaster 5-year journey, I am now eager to pursue new and exciting prospects.
