About Solsen
SOLSEN is about movement at first light - the hours when the world is quiet and the day begins. Inspired by coastlines, deserts, and the places in between. Each piece reflects moments of transition, travel, and intention.
From the Founder
SOLSEN comes from an appreciation for coastlines, desert roads, and those early hours just before the day begins.
Before this, I spent my early twenties on the road, traveling across the country in a van, playing guitar in a touring band. Later, I served as an aircrew member in the U.S. Coast Guard, stationed in San Francisco and Miami. Different paths, but both shaped by movement, discipline, and long stretches of open road and open ocean.
Over time, those experiences shaped a way of seeing things — slower, more aware, and more connected to the places around me. SOLSEN reflects that mindset, built around showing up with intention and making the most of the time in front of me.
