The Job

Crucibel Conversion x Elev808 Designs

I partnered with Crucibel Conversion to take her signature handmade bodysuit and turn it into a scalable, production ready garment. Drawing inspiration from ravewear, motocross, and early 2000s techwear, I designed the full F-140 collection—including custom jerseys, bodysuits, and accessories—infusing the line with bold color, sponsor-style graphics, and athletic silhouettes.

Beyond design, I helped guide the entire process: refining garment construction, building tech packs for suppliers, sourcing production partners, and launching the collection on Shopify. From creative direction to eComm setup, I ensured the vision stayed sharp while making the collection ready for commercial success.

Results

· Transformed a one-of-a-kind handmade bodysuit into a scalable, manufacturer-ready product.

· Launched the brand’s first cohesive product drop with a complete visual identity and production system.

· Developed all creative assets, tech packs, and digital materials needed for both marketing and fulfillment.

· Supported the transition from custom commissions to a structured Shopify storefront with consistent sales potential.

NWTBD x Elev808 Designs

In collaboration with the independent brand Naked When the Beat Drops, I helped transform a series of one-of-a-kind, handmade rave wear pieces into a fully scalable capsule collection. The designs celebrate Y2K nostalgia,
cyberpunk energy, and maximalist expression through bold graphics, mixed textures, and unexpected color-blocking. Every piece was built to preserve the individuality of the brand while making
it ready for mass production.

I worked closely with the founder from start to finish—creating detailed tech packs, refining silhouettes for manufacturability, and coordinating production to ensure consistency and quality. I also assisted in organizing the Shopify storefront, including asset preparation and launch strategy. This collaboration helped bring Naked When the Beat Drops into its first structured product drop while maintaining its DIY roots and bold visual identity.

Results

· Successfully transitioned one-off custom pieces into a scalable, cohesive capsule collection.

· Developed detailed tech packs that enabled smooth communication with suppliers and ensured consistent quality.

· Supported the brand’s launch on Shopify with organized product uploads, optimized visuals, and backend setup.

· Helped the brand achieve a 40% profit margin on sales compared to initial bulk production costs.

Illenium Odyssey x Elev808 Designs

For Illenium’s ODYSSEY collection, I developed a range of apparel concepts, including custom hockey and baseball jerseys. I created the artwork, garment layouts and production-ready technical files, with one sample of each jersey produced to demonstrate how the designs would translate into physical garments.

Although the jerseys were not selected for production, the project ultimately moved forward with a hoodie and T-shirt design. I worked directly with the manufacturer throughout sampling and production, refining artwork placement, color and construction details while maintaining the original creative direction. Both final pieces were approved and sold during Illenium’s performances at Sphere Las Vegas.
