clothes designer Amerikan Project, one of Orange County's "buzz" apparel brands, is on the hunt for a chief executive.

Cofounder Adam Port said he's been looking at candidates but hasn't found the right fit. Amerikan thought it had someone recently, but the person didn't click, according to a spokesman.

Up to now, Port has run things.

He said he started Amerikan Project four years ago with a cool logo and T-shirts, working out of his garage in Capistrano Beach until the operation was "busting at the seams."

"We've been building this thing brick by brick," Port said. "We now need someone with experience to take the company to the next level."

The company recently doubled its space and moved to San Clemente from San Juan Capistrano.
