The Inventor and Designer Who Engineered Protection Into Fashion
Kim Highfield holds two issued U.S. patents in women's performance apparel — the result of nearly a decade of original research into how women carry technology against the body. SportPort Active is that research, made wearable. Season by season. Garment by garment. Yours.
A visionary who turned personal conviction into protected innovation.
Kim Highfield saw what women were already doing — carrying smartphones against their skin, pressed against the body through every waorkout, every commute, every hour of the day — and made it her life's work to design around that reality with full scientific and artistic intention.
Nearly a decade of self-directed research. Two years of formal R&D. A category-defining answer — and the intellectual property to protect it.
She saw a reality. She researched it. She patented around it. She built a brand to serve it.
Women's Sports Top with Integrated Pocket Assembly
The original architecture for carrying technology intentionally against the female body — engineered for performance, comfort, and precision fit.
Radio Frequency Shielded Clothing
Apparel with a conductive inner panel engineered to reduce radio frequency exposure from a device carried directly against the skin. Patented. Wearable. Hers.
Science and art, authored together.
Kim Highfield trained as a visual artist before she became an inventor — and that sequence is the source of everything SportPort is. Beauty and function designed in tandem from the first sketch. Every garment earns its place aesthetically and scientifically before it enters production.
Every SportPort print has lineage. A concept becomes a photograph. The photograph becomes a hand-painted oil painting. The painting is digitized onto premium technical compression fabric. A creative process as documented and intentional as the patents behind it.
Technical compression. Conductive shielding. Original fine art on performance textile. Three things Kim Highfield holds in a single garment — with the intellectual property and the artistic process to prove it.
A designer who refused to separate beauty from science — and holds the patents to prove it.
