TougherThan text logo. The word “tougherthan” is the main word, large in size, and positioned in centre. “Tougher” is written in all caps in very dark grey. “Than” is written in lower case in lighter grey colour. The “A” in “than” is substituted for the Tougher-than logo symbol. This symbol looks like a greater than symbol, an arrow pointing to the right, and is created using connected triangles fitted together in shades of grey. Dissecting this is a yellow vertical line through the centre and another across the top of the greater than symbol to visually form a letter “T”. Next to this T and in the point of the arrow is another greater than symbol, in yellow. Beneath the letters of “tough” reads the slogan “being a force greater than your obstacle” which is written in dark grey.

TOUGHERthan (Tt) is a platform that’s meeting each moment with a commitment to challenging our default lens and the dominant culture. Learning. Unlearning. Relearning. Engaging with purpose and seeking meaningful impact, here you’ll find in-house articles, uncomfortable conversations, wellbeing practises, active projects and neighbouring collectives. 

We each face and perpetuate obstacles. The experience of obstacles is unique to each of us and includes things such as societal, mental and physical barriers. Being TougherThan is a call to action. It’s a practise that necessitates choosing a no-exceptions accountability for our mindset, our actions (and reactions), and their impact on the world around us. Our platform is intended to encourage reflection and engage action. Start by getting curious, lean into The Why.

TougherThan logo. A greater than symbol, an arrow pointing to the right, is created using connected triangles fitted together in shades of grey. Dissecting this is a yellow vertical line through the centre and another across the top of the greater than symbol to visually form a letter “T”. Next to this T and in the point of the arrow is another greater than symbol, in yellow. This graphic forms the majority of the logo. It is then complemented with a three-sided, top, right, and bottom, square border outline in black. The visual effect is to have the symbol inside a box. Inside and along the bottom of the now created box is the word “tougherthan”. “Tougher” is written in all caps in very dark grey. “Than” is written in lower case in lighter grey colour. The “A” in “than” is substituted for a yellow greater than symbol.

origin story

2009 | In the glamorous silver gild of Ginza, amid a superfluity of nondescript buildings, an unexceptional 6th floor office marks the intersect of co-founders Ness Murby and Eva Fejes. Chapters later they’d nurtured a personal proverb into a practise, competing at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games along the journey, and launched “TOUGHERthan” as a movement in 2020. Being TOUGHERthan is being a force greater than your obstacle. It’s the act of affecting the dynamic between individual and adversity through the shifting of our perceptions. It’s reframing what’s possible, taking and advocating for accountabiliyt. This platform is space for thought-provoking content that serves to raise awareness and demand accountability. Choosing growth in the face of challenge.

Tt cofounders Ness and Eva are disrupting the sports world as they train and vie to compete at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
