For Five Vices, an independent apparel brand exploring identity through texture, place, and personal narrative, I came on board to design a collection of standout pieces that mixed technique with storytelling. My role included everything from garment graphics to fabrication details—working closely with the founders to create pieces that felt elevated but still rooted in the brand’s emerging voice.

Beyond the main garments, I also designed custom leather patch labels to elevate branding across the collection. I wrapped up the project with a leather racing jacket concept, which incorporated leather appliqué graphics—a nod to vintage motorsport mixed with streetwear sensibilities.

One of the focal points was a sherpa hoodie featuring a floral graphic motif—soft and organic, but with structure. I also developed an all-over fleece hoodie design that captured a nostalgic LA streetscape, combining warm material with an atmospheric photo-layered print. For denim, I created laser-etched artwork that wrapped around the leg, using negative space to bring subtle contrast and movement.

The work with Five Vices was detail-heavy, process-driven, and intimate in scale. It was the kind of project where I could get close to the product—finessing the graphics, materials, and finishes to create a collection that felt thoughtful and textured from top to bottom.
