Tasked with creating a visual identity for Milk It!, an initiative by MilkPep for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the mission was crystal clear: sponsor the US Skateboarding team and make an indelible mark. Faced with this challenge, I embarked on crafting five unique micro-identities, each tailored to resonate with distinct audience segments. These micro-identities went far beyond just logo placements; they became the face of Milk It!, gracing the Olympic Village, the shelves of retailers, and captivating TV spots. This design wasn't just a project; it was deeply personal, evoking memories of my youth within the skate scene. As the project reached its conclusion, the client's enthusiastic response was a testament to our collective success. Unfortunately, this project was postponed alongside the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

I reject all forms of violence, discrimination, and
intolerance, including racism, xenophobia, bigotry, homophobia,
transphobia, ageism, religious bias, disability discrimination, veteran
status bias, socioeconomic prejudice, and any other hindrance to
individuals embracing their true selves. We must each do our part in breaking down the walls of racism and injustice and proudly support civil rights and liberties for all. I will not consider collaborations with individuals or
organizations that do not uphold the most basic belief of unalienable rights for
every person.
