Where It All Started

While studying mechanical engineering, I began exploring opportunities in streetwear and branding. I approached ADBD, a brand development firm and streetwear label based on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, with my portfolio and secured an internship.

Working under creative director Adam Derry and art director Ryan McGrath, I contributed to campaign graphics, apparel design, social content, and event visuals. This experience introduced me to branding beyond surface-level design and gave me hands-on exposure to building visual identity within a cultural context.
