What started during college and COVID quickly turned into something bigger. With just an idea and a helmet from Amazon, Space Gramz was born.
Our mascot, Buddy the Budstronaut, became the face of the brand — genderless, fluid, and instantly relatable. Comics, skits, and storylines brought Buddy to life.
More than just clothes — we started building a community. From comics to beach cleanups, every drop and event connected fans to something bigger.
With new collections, stories, and even future friends for Buddy, we’re just getting started. Our mission: connect people through creativity, laughter, and shared adventures.
Buddy is our mascot, our storyteller, and your everyday companion. They’re not defined by gender, age, or background — they’re for everyone. Whether crash-landing in Hawaii, napping after a long day, or shouting “This isn’t even my final form,” Buddy represents the humor, quirks, and vibes we all share.
Space Gramz is more than a mascot — it’s the vision of two friends who believed a quirky idea could spark a community. Meet the crew steering the mission:
Deonte is originally from Brooklyn, New York and graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2021. As the visionary behind Space Gramz, he leads the creative side — from designing Buddy’s iconic look to shaping collections that bring fans into the story. His eye for style and storytelling gives Space Gramz its unique character.
Fun Fact: Before diving into business and consulting, Deonte wanted to be a pro skater — and he can still pull off some serious tricks.
Michael is from New Rochelle, New York and moved to Hawaii after graduating from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2022. With a passion for systems management, logistics, and media creation, Michael ensures Space Gramz runs smoothly behind the scenes. He’s the one translating Buddy’s adventures into a real-life brand experience.
Fun Fact: Michael can do a near perfect “Gollum” impression from Lord of the Rings.
