Creativity and craft power me. Visionaries and outliers in architecture, design and technology inspire me.

Fashion Runway Design for Arise Magazine African Collective Fall/Winter 2010 in Bryant Park creating an epic theatrical environment inspired by Ben Okri’s The Famished Road to showcase 3 emerging African fashion designers. The panoramic set wall of overlapping cubist panels served as a vast projection surface and model entrance to the painted carpet runway which evoked a collaged serpentine road of rich textures shimmering with opalescent crystals. The visually arresting sculptural space - transformed by a vibrant array of projected digital content - conveyed guests through distinct narrative chapters for the three designers while evoking the passage of time and light with a rising and setting sun that bookended the show.
