ContextGlobal sportswear and premium brands entering a fast-growing, culturally complex market with high reputational risk and strict global brand governance.

This Is Us

Co-founder and Artistic Director.

ContextA fashion and lifestyle brand born from ethnographic research into cotton and heritage crafts & production.
ApproachMy partner and I built the brand from the ground up — product, identity, narrative, and experience — treating culture as infrastructure rather than inspiration.
OutcomeGlobal distribution and pop-ups. International press and recognition. A long-term, values-driven brand system.
