Hockey jerseys have been a staple of the hip-hop and streetwear communities dating back to the 90s. A prime example of bringing together sport and culture, hockey jerseys continue to be embraced as a lifestyle piece that reaches beyond arenas.

“We will partner with a photographer and videographer to shoot four local creators influenced by hip-hop and streetwear to highlight the Adidas NH jerseys of our New York teams: Rangers, Islanders, Devils,
and Sabres.” - Adidas NYC

Broccoli City is redefining cool by mobilizing and educating urban millennials on how to create a better world. Through our programs we 

are creating pathways to higher standards of sustainable living, environmental education, economic opportunity, and access to high quality food and shelter.

As a graphic designer, I’ve worked for both corporate and agency entities. I’ve worked on full scale branding campaigns for both domestic and international use.

I was given the opportunity to develop a full branding campaing for the relase of the new Ciroc French Vanilla collaboration by French Montana and P. Diddy in the Washington D.C. market.
