(THE ONES I CAN CONTRACTUALLY MENTION)
2006
THEFAMILYFRIEND
PROVIDED: DEVELOPMENT, BRANDING, DESIGN, VISUALS, COPY, MARKETING, SOCIAL MEDIA
My mission with TheFamilyFriend was simple: bring a household term used globally, to life. Drawing from various input amongst our network (including a retired designer from Disney), I sculpted the brand feel, core values, and products to embody a feeling through mixed mediums. Procuring product visuals through remote creatives such as Demitri (@90pts Instagram) created further mystique around the small town, boutique brand. To this day TheFamilyFriend has only released 2500 pieces with next releases set for 2023/24.
RAMBO RABBIT
+ THE BUS
2010
PROVIDED: DEVELOPMENT, BRANDING, MARKETING, RAMBO HIMSELF
My mission with the short bus began sheerly as private transportation for a network of Bay Area performers. Upon recommendation and introduction I commissioned the legendary graffiti artist “CHEZ” to create whatever he envisioned. Later featured in the official video for “I’d rather be a rapper” by Indecent the Slapmaster, the bus costarred with a wild animal in its prime; Rambo Rabbit.
My mission with Rambo Rabbit was born in a winery tasting room. The premise: I bet a crazy looking rabbit with sticks in its fur would really stand out in here. 30 days later I was the proud owner of a mascot entitled ‘Rocket Rabbit’. Integrating Rambo Rabbit onstage at Bay Area events, appearing in multiple music videos, and attending a few private parties, Rambo Rabbit became a figure of his own.
2012
MODELKILLERZ
PROVIDED: DEVELOPMENT, BRANDING, DESIGN, COPY, VISUALS, MARKETING, SOCIAL MEDIA
My mission with Model Killerz began as a social experiment and study. Observing the Los Angeles creative community and individual creators/collectives globally I reached several enlightening conclusions. Developing and launching Model Killerz happened overnight, the results came even faster. Utilizing my recipe developed from observation and theory (mostly;) #ModelKillerz became a potent tag in the landscape for generally unknown creators. With future releases set for 2023/24, the Modelkillerz seed simply awaits watering.

2016
"FREE" FASHION SHOW
PROVIDED - DEVELOPMENT, EVENT LOGISTICS, VIDEO POST PRODUCTION, CONSULTING
My mission with the FREE brand (developed by Tyrice Hicks) fashion show was to decrease budget and increase return, simple right?! The idea delivered and executed was a FREE fashion show in various iconic public locations in the greater city of San Francisco. I arranged a black Mercedes sprinter to chauffeur Tyrice, the models, and makeup artists to provide a private changing room and storage. Tyrice executed an incredible show capturing attention and content for the brand. Utilizing footage provided to me I created the following videos for promotional purposes. Fresh, potent, and catchy, the FREE brand still to this day commands my intrigue.
WERDPLAY
2016
PROVIDED - CREATIVE DIRECTION, VIDEO PRODUCTION + POST PRODUCTION
My mission with the “Can’t wait no more” visuals for the upcoming release by Werdplay (of Blesténation) produced by Rich Gains (of Blended Babies) was “trickery”. My vision was to create nine unique commercials (in 72hrs) for a music video that would look nothing like the one to be released. Werdplay and I shot in various locations around Newport Beach and Los Angeles California over the coarse of 48hrs. Finals edits were complete in the following 24hrs. Honored to have created these visuals for a legend.
2016
COLOMBO
PROVIDED - VIDEO PRODUCTION + POST PRODUCTION, TRUMP PIECE CONCEPT
My mission with the Colombo visuals was to document a genius at work. Incredibly talented, astronomically ahead of his time, and surrounded by intrigue I felt it only right to capture his works and processes from a third person perspective. Honored to have access to the artist, and appreciative for the time with a good friend, I created visuals for sheer documentation.
Our mission with the Trump piece was to mix a current issue with the incredibly intriguing and provoking art Colombo was already creating. We delivered the idea of utilizing muslin currencies (during the ban of x) surrounding the head of Donald Trump. Our message: you can’t run from your choices. The outcome: an incredibly powerful image by Colombo in one of his many signature mediums.

Our mission with HLYWTR was to create a sustainable bottle of water that directly contributed back to its category, globally.

The idea was born following sponsorship review and negotiations for Halston “OX” Williams. Overnight with newly acquired information pertaining to the bottled water industry, we set out on a high risk, high return journey to integrate new thinking to an age old industry; we succeeded! Fast forward to today, the HLYWTR brand lives on in a new bottle under a new name with the assets and elements created over a 14 month time period. We’re honored to have had such an impact on an over saturated, under performing industry plagued by false promises.
PULL UP LA
2017
PROVIDED - FEATURED IN DOCUMENTARY
My mission with the Pull Up La Documentary began with outreach and r+d. Stemming from the origin and development of ModelKillerz i attended a “meet” in person I had previously studied digitally. Attending a “meet up” at Sepulveda Dam in Los Angeles county I met Owen Korb (director and producer of “Pull Up La”) and the rest is history. Consenting to an interview I answered questions for 10-15 minutes (and later forgot about it). Three years following the interview I received a notification of the documentaries release and upcoming debut at film festivals. Attending showings in LA I was blown away by the magnitude of these creators ingenuity and impact. Beauty in motion, accidental inspiration, and unwavering camaraderie are just a few examples gradients that make up this incredible meal for the eyes, mind, and soul. Streaming on TuBi, I suggest you watch and share the documentary “PULL UP LA”.
