Kapsoul (Kaptured Soul) is a lifestyle brand dedicated to the memory of my father Lam Dang.

Lam immigrated from Vietnam in 1975 following the war. A fresh slate and the pursuit of the American dream. However, In the early 2000’s his life changed forever. He developed a devastating neurodegenerative disease that stole his ability to move, communicate, and care for himself.

In a few years, he became confined to the to the tomb of a failed body. He lived in this state for over two decades until the day of his death. Something I always tragically thought of as a “captured soul”.

Why would something bad like this happen? What is the meaning behind this? These are questions I used to ask myself daily. As I grew older and through the wisdom of life, I began to take on a belief system that rather than discovering meaning in life, it is actually for us to give life meaning. So now through Kapsoul; this is me, trying to construct meaning through it all and attempt to grow something special from the soils of tragedy.

Kapsoul is a lifestyle brand for those who choose to live life with purpose and resilience. For those who have an understanding that we are in this world together and together we are a part of something infinite.

My dream is to grow Kapsoul to be a force for charity, community, healing, and a space to celebrate life.
