Who We are

Who We Are

Our Purpose At Covalence, we believe that thoughtful design can change lives. Our mission is to create purposeful, design-driven tools that restore balance in a technology-driven world. Every product we craft is a reflection of our deep commitment to empowering individuals to live with clarity, intention, and connection.

Our Story The story of Covalence begins with a vision to bridge the gap between science, art, and fashion. Co-founded by Patrick Janiak, a concept designer with a background in master planning, costume design, and personal training, and Dr. Nathan Walworth, a bio-geneticist and climate scientist, Covalence was born from the understanding that today's world requires more than beauty—it demands utility, adaptability, and empathy. Together, they sought to create something greater than the sum of its parts, merging creativity with science to craft products that genuinely improve the human experience.

What We Do We design "Tools for Peopling"—innovative leather accessories that do more than look good. Our products serve as extensions of the mind, reducing cognitive load and enabling users to operate with clarity and confidence. Our flagship products, such as the Balance Bag, Single Sling, and Magn’ Bag, exemplify this commitment to functional luxury. By organizing and securing daily essentials, these tools allow for seamless navigation of everyday life, freeing up mental space for more meaningful interactions and decisions.

Our Approach Our design philosophy is grounded in cognitive psychology, behavioral science, and the principles of extended cognition. By integrating these disciplines into our creative process, we produce accessories that support mental clarity, promote presence, and reduce daily stress. Our products aren't just stylish—they are essential. They reduce the mental clutter associated with everyday decisions, fostering a calmer, more focused state of mind.

Our Values

• Preparedness: We believe that when you're prepared, you're free to fully engage with life. Our products are designed to ensure you have what you need, when you need it.

• Innovation: By blending behavioral science with fashion, we create tools that push the boundaries of what accessories can do.

• Empowerment: Our products empower users to reclaim their mental bandwidth, allowing them to focus on what matters most.

• Inclusivity: We design for everyone. Our adaptive designs, like the Single Sling, support users with upper limb differences, ensuring that style and functionality are accessible to all.

• Sustainability: We believe in creating products that last. Our in-house production methods prioritize local manufacturing and the use of surplus materials to reduce waste and maintain authenticity.

Our Vision We envision a world where thoughtful design enhances the way people live, work, and connect. Our goal is to influence not just what people wear but how they interact with the world around them. By prioritizing substance over superficiality, we seek to counter the negative effects of technology on human connection, self-identity, and culture. Through our products, we aim to inspire a shift toward intentional living and meaningful relationships.

They’re creatives, entrepreneurs, and forward-thinkers who appreciate craftsmanship, sustainability, and the subtle power of good design.
