Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) · The Electric Visionary

“He dreamed of lighting the world without wires and powering the impossible.”

Step into the world of Nikola Tesla, the man whose ideas electrified the future long before the world could catch up. Born in 1856 in what is now Croatia, Tesla was a visionary whose mind pulsed with electricity — both literally and figuratively. He fought the great current wars against Edison, championing alternating current and creating the foundation of the modern electrical world.

Tesla’s life was as electrifying as his inventions. He envisioned wireless energy for all, towers that could beam power across continents, and machines that could manipulate lightning itself. He often worked day and night, obsessed with numbers, pigeons, and patterns, living in near-total isolation to protect his genius.

Though he died alone and nearly forgotten in 1943, his legacy sparkles brighter than any bulb. Tesla was a man of ideas beyond time, a rebel of science whose imagination shaped the modern era.

Wear this design as a tribute to brilliance, obsession, and the courage to defy convention. For the dreamers, the inventors, and the ones who see lightning in the dark — this is your emblem.
