Who on Earth are we?

We’re Mike and Wayne, co-founders of Quieter. You have questions, we have (most of the) answers.

What Quieter Stands For

Quieter is a lifestyle brand built around slowing down.
We make clothing and content that encourage people to unplug, step outside, and reconnect with nature. With others and with themselves.

In a world that never stops scrolling, we choose presence over distraction. Our clothing is made with care. They're simple, functional, and inspired by time outdoors. Serious about purpose, but never so serious we forget the joy of it.

How It Started

Quieter began in 2025, though the idea took root years earlier.

During lockdown, I (Wayne) was made redundant from a job that never switched off. My one hour outside each day — a walk in Richmond Park — became a small escape, a reminder that I’d lost touch with nature.

Later, I moved to the coast to chase a quieter life. I started swimming, walking, leaving my phone behind. The noise faded. Colour, sound, and space returned.

When I met Mike (Ultra marathon runner/entrepreneur/all-round good egg), we realised we were on the same path, trying to find peace, to live slower, to manage our mental health through time outdoors.

Out of those conversations, Quieter was born.

Where We’re Heading

Quieter is about rediscovering the world beyond our screens.
A short walk or ride or just sitting and admiring the world can be enough to reset.

We want to relearn the simple things. From knowing the birds and trees, feeling the ground, to sharing stories around a fire. And we want to make relevant clothing that helps this rallying cry.

Our mission is to spark honest talk about mental health, digital balance, and the beauty of getting outside to live at a slower pace.

Because a quieter life isn’t about silence. It’s about space.
Space to breathe.
Space to notice.
Space to feel connected.

And that's what Quieter is all about,

Mike & Wayne
