FOUNDER’S STORY
Built from grit.
Backed by purpose.
A dream that refused to shrink.
↓ My story starts here
I’m Mikayla, Founder of Nexarina.
The mountains felt like home. The gear didn’t.
At 5'0", I froze in kids’ jackets and swam in men’s.
No one was building for women like me. Women like us.
So I stopped waiting and started building - prototyping nights, field-testing weekends, and finding the fabrics top brands trust.
This is gear built by someone who gets it.
Find the fit I couldn’t
Growing up, I hated my height.
Beauty was always tall, thin, effortless.
I was curvy. I was short. I was overlooked.
That changed the day I found jeans that came in short, regular, and long.
No tailoring. No compromise. They actually fit.
That moment of feeling seen, that’s what I’m building into Nexarina.
The Build
No investors. No shortcuts. No fluff.
I poured everything into Nexarina.
From pitch days to late-night pattern tweaks and warehouse floors, I built this the hard way - by doing the work.
Countless prototypes, field tests, and reworks.
I built this from the ground up.

This isn’t just outerwear.
It’s a movement.
For women who carve their own line
For the ones who wore men’s or kids’
And the ones still waiting for gear that fits.
I built this for us. And we’re just getting started.
Founders Story
Often, female products are made for looks rather than for functionality. As a female rider, I know firsthand that we need performance gear that empowers us. Therefore, my goal is to create more than just a cute Instagram outfit, I want to provide technical outwear that fits!
