Bia Thayer, veterinarian and co-founder of Kneel, has been immersed in the veterinary field for more than 30 years. Born and raised in Brazil, she was accepted into vet school and became a veterinarian before moving to the USA.

With over 20 years as a licensed veterinarian in the United States, Bia remains deeply committed to her profession, embracing the demanding and rigorous life of a veterinarian with unwavering passion and dedication.

Bia’s vision for Kneel is to create a brand that unites the veterinary community - a brand to call our own. Rooted in the belief that our passion can be pursued without pain, Kneel embodies an understanding of the unique challenges faced by professionals in this field.

Mark Thayer, inspired by his wife’s dedication and her dream of a more comfortable workday, fully embraced her vision. Together, they brought Kneel to life, championing the idea that workwear should be as resilient and supportive as the people who wear it.

At Kneel, our mission is to empower hardworking professionals by redefining workwear with innovative, performance-driven designs that prioritize comfort, durability, and support.

Built on understanding the unique challenges of your work, Kneel is more than a brand - it’s a community dedicated to helping you pursue your passion.

We are committed to creating products that enhance the well-being and confidence of those who tirelessly serve others, from veterinarians and medical professionals to anyone who demands the best from their gear.
