COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Design transcends the confines of the office; it links with the community the city, nurtures young talent, and serves the underserved. Active engagement in community service and events elevates the significance of our design work to a whole new level.
I was honored to accept an invitation to serve as a panel judge for TH x HFR | New Legacy Program 2.0. This initiative is part of Tommy Hilfiger’s ‘People Place program,’ which is dedicated to promoting greater representation of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in the fashion and creative industries. In collaboration with HFR ‘Harlem Fashion Row,’ ‘The New Legacy Challenge’ was established to drive lasting, positive change through mentorship, collaboration, and career development programs.
