Why Merch

My passion for designing graphics and merch is deeply rooted in my love of art. Ever since Pre-school, I found a love for creating art and coloring inside the lines. A core memory of mine takes place in kindergarten. I drew a family portrait and colored the whole printer-sized paper in crayon. My teacher proudly held it up in front of the class as an example. The joy and fulfillment from that interaction is what I have continuously been chasing my whole career. 

Since my freshman year of college, I have been slowly collecting different types of content creator merch. I have a gigantic clothing rack solely dedicated to my merch in my dorm room. 14 pieces of merch and more than $1000 later, my whole wardrobe is now merch. The graphics bring me so much joy and I love being able to express my interests and the type of person I am by the clothes that I am wearing. When I listen to music or watch something, my brain automatically creates graphics. From curating my Lovejoy collection to Jake Wesley Roger's collection, I derive immense satisfaction from infusing my creativity into their artwork. I would LOVE to design merch for DreamBranding and Revolt, so I can give back that same joy that I have when I wear my merch to the person who is wearing my creations.
