I joined Vestal in order to launch an accessories/softgoods collection that illustrated the brands strong connection to cutting edge music and fashion. I am responsible for the design, sampling, merchandising, and production of the line. In order to create a united and rich story we focus on an important time in music's history, (the rise of punk in 1977 England, the 1960-64 Soul Movement, B- and Exploitation Films influence on punk.) With my film experience and design background I also produced internal and product videos in order to educate both our internal staff and accounts in all areas of the brand. These were introduced at a Global Sales Meeting in 2008, and then used in various other applications due to their effectiveness.
