My name is Enrique Murguia, owner and creator of Milwaukee OATS. We use a simple t-shirt to portray messages that serve as a catalyst in making an impact beyond our acronym OATS “only a t-shirt.”

I started Milwaukee OATS in 2014 as a way to engage our community, develop our youth, and create art. These are passions I developed via my experience growing up in Milwaukee. My professional career started in the non-profit space where I mentored youth much like myself. I used art as both a therapeutic and teaching agent to address the multitude of issues we faced. My roots are what drive my personal and professional growth. I believe that as a collection of endeavoring individuals, we are able to strengthen, unify, and change the Milwaukee we reside in. We have the power to move our community forward and create a solid foundation for future generations to thrive on.

Our goal at Milwaukee OATS is to create world-class screen printed merch, produce cutting edge media, and cultivate the next generation of diverse leaders through various artistic outlets. We invite you to join us on this pursuit!
