As Founder and Creative Director at Cotton the First LLC, I oversee product roadmaps and factory operations to meet quality, cost, and time targets. I drive creative direction across production, sales, and customer loyalty marketing. Below are examples of marketing videos, including product introductions, tutorials, and customer-centric campaigns.

Your shirt has a story: Truly Local Collection

Reduced demand uncertainty, waste, and returns with a preorder strategy that decoupled product delivery from the international supply chain.

Signature Prints

Taking ordinary ideas, drawing them into a picture and bringing them to life. Because you don’t need a lot, you just need a few great pieces. Showcasing the unique prints of San Francisco memorable culture, from crafted coffee to windblown umbrellas, I bring a modern take to slim-fit shirts.

Brand Illustration and Usage

I use illustration to connect customers to Cotton the First. An extension of the brand that tells stories through a one of a kind creation, emphasizing San Francisco as the brand DNA. I also adds a twist to the backdrop design by hiding shirts in it.  

 

How many shirts can you find in this backdrop?

I use this illustration as part of the booth design, functioning as a wall backdrop that invites customers into the shop.

Real-world application of the backdrop at in-person popups.

Marketing Campaigns

From going behind the seams, to a customer-centric campaign like #DADSTORIES, I invited customers into the narrative and put their needs front and center. I owned and executed these campaigns from start to finish, increasing customer loyalty and engagement. 

#DADSTORIES Campaign

a series of engaging videos, blogposts, and email marketing featuring 5 Dads customer interviews.
