Who we are

About RaristonINC

RaristonINC was born from lived experience and a clear purpose: to create meaningful products that serve specialized communities while fostering awareness, dignity, and connection. As a Type 1 diabetic and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand how small, thoughtful design choices can change daily life—reducing stigma, increasing visibility, and building practical support where it matters most.

Our Mission

  • Build products that solve real problems for people living with chronic conditions and those in underrepresented communities.

  • Use design and messaging to increase awareness, educate without shame, and normalize experiences that are too often misunderstood.

  • Channel our values into every item we make: safety, accessibility, inclusivity, and respect.

Why This Matters Living with Type 1 diabetes shapes how I move through the world. Routine care, emergency preparedness, and visible medical devices bring practical challenges and social questions. Meanwhile, being part of the LGBTQ+ community has taught me how representation and allyship change lives. Combining these perspectives guides our work: we craft items that are useful, unashamed, and empowering. Our products aim to make everyday management easier and to open conversations that replace fear with understanding.

What We Make

  • Functional, discreet solutions that prioritize safety and convenience for people with chronic conditions.

  • Apparel and accessories designed to communicate identity and solidarity without spectacle—sophisticated, wearable, and thoughtful.

  • Educational materials and campaigns that center lived experience, reduce misinformation, and encourage respectful dialogue.

Values That Guide Us

  • Compassion: We design from empathy and listen to real users to refine our work.

  • Integrity: Accuracy and responsibility matter—especially when products touch health and identity.

  • Inclusion: Everyone deserves products that respect their needs and their dignity.

  • Advocacy: We use our platform to amplify positive messages and fight stigma, not to divide.

Community & Collaboration We build in public and with purpose. Feedback from people who know these challenges firsthand directs our priorities. We partner with healthcare professionals, advocacy organizations, and community leaders to ensure our products are safe, effective, and respectful.

How You Can Help

  • Share your experiences—what works, what doesn’t, what feels invisible but matters.

  • Support awareness over sensationalism: help us spread facts, empathy, and practical advice.

  • Choose products that reflect care: when you buy or recommend, you’re investing in better design and better conversation.

A Personal Note I started RaristonINC because I wanted more than products—I wanted change. Change that looks like fewer awkward questions, better preparedness for emergencies, and quieter confidence for people managing chronic conditions. Change that means visible support for LGBTQ+ lives instead of misunderstanding or hate. Every product we make is a small step toward those larger goals.

If this speaks to you, join us: share feedback, tell your story, or explore our collection. Together we can make everyday life safer, kinder, and more dignified for people who need it most.
