IN 2021, I BEGAN WORKING WITH JONXGENIUS AND CORNER STORE GOODS AFTER A DM TO JON REGARDING ASSISTANT NEEDS. FROM THERE, OUR RELATIONSHIP BEGAN DURING HIS JUNETEENTH TEE RELEASE. SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO STEP INTO THE WORLD OF DESIGN AND APPAREL WITH A HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE THROUGH WORKING WITH JON. FROM HELPING PACK UP T-SHIRTS FOR SHIPPING TO SETTING UP STORES FOR POP-UP SHOPS TO STORYBOARDING COMMERCIALS.
ABOVE ARE SOME IMAGES FROM MY FIRST POP-UP SHOP WORKING WITH JON AND CORNER STORE GOODS. I WAS ABLE TO HELP PLAN AND ORGANIZE THE CLOTHING LAYOUT, AS WELL AS PLAN OUT AND SET UP DECOR.
DURING THE SUMMER OF 2022, I WAS ABLE TO WORK THE HOMEGROWN CAMPAIGN WITH CORNER STORE GOODS & FOOTLOCKER AS CREATIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE CAMPAIGN. TASKS INCLUDED CURATING THE THEME, SCOUTING LOCATIONS, SELECTING MODELS, AND AIDING THE PHOTOGRAPHER TO HELP WITH THE OVERALL EXECUTION.
BELOW IS THE HOLIDAY COMMERCIAL FOR CORNER STORE GOODS "THE MAKINGS OF YOU" COLLECTION. ALONG WITH MAKING A CAMEO, I ALSO WORKED AS A PRODUCER ON SET FOR THE FILM.
FOLLOWING THE INITIAL RELEASE OF "THE MAKINGS OF YOU" COLLECTION I WAS ABLE TO PRODUCE MY OWN FILM SHOWING A GLIMPSE OF WHAT GOES INTO A CORNER STORE GOODS PHOTO SHOOT FOR MERCHANDISE.
