Sophie Dunster is the London based founder and designer of Gung Ho, and the true embodiment of what it means to be Gung Ho. Having been raised living a low carbon lifestyle, it’s not surprising that sustainability has been fairly drummed into her over the years. Being unable to follow in her father’s footsteps as a zero carbon architect (science isn’t a strong point), Sophie turned to art for her way to save the world. And when she discovered she could put her drawings on clothes… well that was the start of Gung Ho.
