An Ode to New Orleans ⚜️
In the words of @juviethegreat : “I’m not above you, I’m not below you, I’m right next to you.”
As creatives, we move so fast—onto the next, barely pausing to take in what we’ve built. But this project made me stop, breathe, and feel it. Something that once only existed in my mind and heart is now tangible, real, and meaningful.
We got to tell an authentic story, in a city with deep history, through the lens of three Black creatives, a set filled with the most diverse talent, and working alongside the local community—this wasn’t just work, it was a reminder of why I fell in love with creating in the first place.
To Diageo and Crown Royal—thank you for believing in us. To New Orleans—thank you for the love.

I spent two weeks in the desert, bringing another idea to life, this time at @coachella . The concept revolved around artists performing on the very first stage they ever had—their childhood bedrooms, for an audience of one.
In our portrait studio, legends past and present graced us. Thank you to the talented @alfredwashere for capturing these moments, and @highsnobiety for providing a platform that turns dreams into reality.
That’s exactly what I am doing—living my dreams.
