KARLSSONWILKER HANG TAG

SKIRL 044
This brief was to create album art for an experimental jazz group. The concept was to divert away from a traditional linear design process, and go into open-ended experimentation. A typeface was also created.
In collaboration with Sasha Valgardsson.
KWOTUS KNITWEAR
During my six month internship at karlssonwilker inc, I helped to develop a fashion line for their storefront. For the knits, the animal prints, and the KWOTUS logo, were measured and drawn pixel-per-knit to translate accurately to the sweaters using garment-making software. High-quality sourced Egyptian cotton yarns were selected in the colors to best represent the original works.

KWOTUS RACER JACKET
During my six month internship at karlssonwilker inc, one of the other projects was to develop a Tyvek racer jacket for the store. The vision for the use of Tyvek is because it is a water-resistant material that also has highly breathable fabric. The production of the jacket included patternmaking from a pre-existing jacket, sourcing zippers for sleeves and 3 external pockets, lining, finding the right type of hidden collar button, prototyping and testing.

My concept was to utilize various fashion materials representing each letter of the word "extension" and playful typography to convey freedom of expression and experimentation.
