SURF CRIME, (Subtotal LLC)

Creative director/cofounder | 10/2018 - Current

I started working for Surf Crime in 2018, they had just formed and needed someone to create the entire line and do all of the design/marketing duties to get this new surfboard brand off the ground . Surf Crime is the marker of a higher-quality soft board construction, that’s more of like a real surfboard. It has an extra layer of soft grip laminated on top of a hard epoxy core and will perform like a real surfboard and not intake water. www.surfcrime.com instagram @surfcrime
