I was Hired By Redbull to shoot a week with select individuals to highlight RedBull Racing for the first ever F1 Race in Miami.

Again Faster reached out to me in need of overall guidance in the brands architecture and identity. I took over as lead Art director with Again Faster last March through August. In those 5 months we restructured the brand identity, found a new brand mood and voice to connect with an authentic and returning customer base. Setting the framework for photography aesthetic, mood, look, and tone of voice. While having relocated to Oahu, i was still able to maintain appropriate attention to detail on the scope of work and gather content needed to manage our social media platforms.
