Jen Dodson has always loved gymnastics. Her love for the sport and those gymnasts she worked with empowered her to start DRYbands, a product that addressed the common problems gymnasts had with their typical cotton wristbands. As her business developed, it became the shared love she saw with gymnasts and their supporters where she realized how the power of customization could be so impactful.
