Brief

Create Emo Nite's first Spring/Summer collection and direct a marketing campaign for it.

Solution

Directed a team of 3 contracted artists for designs & executed apparel designs for 5 pieces in the collection. Handled all stages of apparel and accessories production — material research, blank sourcing, file prep, and on-call QC to ensure final output matched original artwork.

Developed a campaign rooted in 2006 garage-band nostalgia — directing a faux band practice photo shoot, producing social content with early-2000s indie film references, and creating interactive content that brought the era's aesthetic to life.
