A Few Words About
Our Story
In a world that often celebrates athletes and celebrities as mainstream passions, geek fandoms are still treated as niche interests or fleeting fancies meant only for children. When I stepped into the buttoned-up environment of corporate America, I found my love for Spider-Man collectibles and my Zelda track jacket didn’t fit the mold. I was told that to lead, I had to conform.
As an autistic adult, I know firsthand the challenge of balancing personal identity with the comfort of those around me, and the impact that can have on both self-expression and self-confidence. I needed a way to honor my authentic self—subtly nodding to my passions with a Hyrule crest or an understated reference—while still maintaining the polished, professional appearance that allows others to focus on the thought leadership I bring.
That’s where Discreetly Geek began: as a way to embrace fandom with sophistication, blending it seamlessly into professional attire. It’s a brand for those of us who want to spark recognition in fellow fans without standing out to everyone else. For me, and for so many others, it’s about authenticity, comfort, and confidence—all while living in a world where we can be both proudly geeky and undeniably polished.
