Co-Founders
Higher Innovation is founded by husband and wife, Alwin & Ashley Ciccel, out of Austin, TX. Coming from a family deeply rooted in military service, Alwin witnessed firsthand how veterans often face unique challenges with stress, recovery, and mental health. Through his own experiences, he discovered the transformative potential of plant medicine to bring balance, healing, and clarity. That understanding inspired him to build something different, a company dedicated to empowering people to consume with confidence, safety, and purpose. Proudly made in America, our products and processes reflect a commitment to equity, community, and continuous improvement. By using additive manufacturing, we bring customer feedback to life—transforming real experiences into innovative solutions that serve a modern, conscious world.
