Penn & Peak is more than just a brand — it’s a story that started with love, creativity, and a dream shared between my grandma and me. In 2021, we began creating angel number hoodies under HeatByLeah, spending countless nights crafting designs that carried meaning and intention. Those moments sparked my passion for building something bigger — something that reflected both where I came from and where I was going.

When my grandma passed away in February 2022, it felt like I lost a piece of my heart. But through this brand, I still feel connected to her — every stitch, every design, every detail carries a part of her spirit and the joy we shared creating together.

Penn & Peak was born from that foundation. “Penn” represents Philadelphia — the place just outside of where I live now, surrounded by the energy, creativity, and community that continue to inspire me every day. “Peak” symbolizes the Poconos — my small hometown that shaped who I am, and the growth I’ve experienced stepping beyond it. Together, they represent two worlds that mean everything to me — and even connect me to my boyfriend and my biggest supporter, who’s from near Philly, bridging both of our roots.

This brand isn’t just clothing — it’s my creative outlet, my connection to where I’ve been, and my motivation for where I’m going. Penn & Peak tells my story, honors my grandma’s legacy, and represents the peaks of growth, love, and everything in between. I have so much in store for this brand — and this is only the beginning.
