Work

Selected work

Not galleries. Cases. For each one: the problem I walked into, the story we had to tell, the calls I made, and what came out the other side. The pictures are proof. The thinking is the point.

Enterprise visual merchandising work

01Enterprise · Visual strategy

Making an everyday brand feel intentional

The problem: A Fortune 1 retailer needed one fashion point of view across campaigns, store floors, and every place a customer sees it.
The story: Everyday doesn't have to mean afterthought. I wanted the clothes to look chosen: aspirational, but never out of reach.
What I did: Set the visual language, directed how looks read on the floor and on camera, and guided teams across merchandising, marketing, and production.
The result: Execution that holds the vision at scale. Led, not just staffed.

I keep the specifics generic out of respect for my employer. The detail comes in conversation.

TIME feature on office dressing

02Cultural commentary

The office dress code, after it broke

The problem: Offices reopened and nobody knew what "professional" meant anymore. TIME asked me to explain it to a national audience.
The story: A suit used to signal money and seriousness. After 2020 that signal broke, and it never read the same for everyone wearing it.
What I said: "You would assume someone wearing a suit has a lot of money. Now that's been flipped on its head. The guy in the hoodie makes just as much, or maybe more."
The result: A point of view on dress, identity, and perception that people still repeat back to me. The seed of a keynote.

Editorial art direction

03Editorial · Art direction

Styling as a mini-play

The problem: An editorial page is blank until someone decides what it's about. At Glitter and Ladygunn, that was my call, as stylist and art director both.
The story: I treat a shoot like a role. What story are we telling, who is this person, and what do the clothes do to them?
What I did: Ran concept, mood, styling, and art direction as one authored point of view, not four separate jobs.
The result: A method I still use, narrative first, now scaled from a single spread to a national campaign.

Celebrity and red carpet styling

04Celebrity · Red carpet

The look that gets photographed

The problem: On a carpet or a cover, the image is the whole message, and there's exactly one chance to get it right.
The story: I dress the person, not the trend, so the look says something true about who they are and where they're headed.
What I did: Sourcing, fittings, and on-the-day calls under real pressure: the clock, the fit, and the cameras waiting.
The result: Work for Macy Gray, Skai Jackson, Norman Reedus, Keesha Sharp, EJ Johnson, and Garcelle Beauvais, plus covers including Sheen.
