In my own words

— Brook

I love moving fashion brands forward with print and pattern.

I've executed graphics & prints for a variety of clients (Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, Dick's Sporting Goods, Kohl's, TJMAXX, and The North Face) and for several markets (Junior's, Young Men's, Active, and Missy.)
