Meet the Women Behind the Gear

Since 1989, a band of women athletes and adventurers have been calling the shots at Title Nine. We’ve tested thousands of sports bras, worn every brand out there (more than once), and we know exactly what it takes to make gear that moves with us—not against us. From swimwear to outerwear, we design and scout the best of the best, obsessing over fit, feel, and function.  We’re 100% women-owned, women-led, and gear-obsessed—and we live by one rule: The best product wins. Always.

SUZANNE

Fit Whisperer

If Suzanne’s not happy with the fit of every single piece of T9 swimwear, then nobody’s sleeping. Armed with a tape measure, a tube of Cherry Bomb lipstick, and The Clash on full blast, she’s been perfecting the science of fit for over 15 years. Her standards are sky-high, her attitude is punk rock, and her swimwear? It fits—and it never quits.

AMI

Print Powerhouse

With nearly two decades of print design under her belt (or 30 years if you count her art school days in India—and we do), Ami is living her dream: crafting bold, joyful prints for T9 swim. She’s fueled by chocolate, hiking highs, and the thrill of spotting her prints in the wild—beach or poolside, it never gets old. She’s skydived, Holi-festival’d in the Himalayas, and Greyhounded across the U.S. after reading Kerouac. Her superpower? She’s up for anything, down to go anywhere—even when her luggage doesn’t make it.

KC

The Boob Scientist

KC’s a mom of two (Leo and Bode), a multi-tasking merchant, and the holder of an unofficial PhD in Boob Science. She’s got the genius behind our sand-proof liners and quick-dry cups. She even cracked the code on secure swim bottom pockets—finally, a safe place for your keys that doesn’t involve your bra. Thanks to KC, you can say goodbye to soggy boobs, sandy butts, and swimsuit malfunctions. She’s got you (and your girls) covered.

JAVI

Functional Rebel

World traveller. Pocket evangelist. Frog fan. Javi’s got range—and six years of designing outdoor apparel to prove it. She’s all about hitting the sweet spot between functional and flattering: adjustable dresses with flair and pockets (because snacks). A certified hike-finisher—even when wildly unprepared (okay, only once).

If it’s unexpected, Javi’s all in—and so are her designs: trail-tested, snack-stashing, frog-figurine friendly.

Fit is Everything

When it comes to swim, we trust women designers to solve women-specific problems. Because women know what women want: adjustable tops and budge-proof bottoms, engineered to fit all kinds of boobs and butts. That’s why all our swimwear — from us and the brands we believe in — is built, designed and tested by women, for women.
