Encouraging dialogue about and expression of needs that should be addressed.
America Hates US (or AHUS) is a contemporary lifestyle brand that reflects the current landscape of politics, health & socioeconomics.
Brewed to be equal parts informative, comedic & revolutionary, AHUS offers a tangible medium for those to communicate views we hold dear through the use of symbolic expression.
AHUS was not intended to make a passerby feel comfortable. However, our designs do not provide a podium for hate or discrimination either. Instead, we encourage dialogue, every day, everywhere, about needs that ought to be addressed.
