Long story short...I got a text from the Incredible Rikki Hughes in early February of 2022 asking me if I would come out to L.A. to help design and print for Season 2 of The Hype on HBO. Within a week of that convo I was on a zoom meeting with the challenge producers figuring out how to make it all happen. It was a solid month of filming out in L.A but as you will see the connections work we did was well worth it.
One of the best things about The Hype was the producers willingness to let me create my own space as well as carve out my own niche on the show. It was special to be able to have such a huge brand let me showcase my strengths and put my skills on display. I understood the assignment and was able to deliver some quality products and branding.
Straight to foot, custom printed Chuck T's for Dap
Designing and printing Custom Chuck Taylor's for the legendary and iconic Dapper Dan was not only an incredible highlight from this season but also a personal milestone as well
A little bit of screen time never hurts.

This was a super fresh look that I came up with for Barth during his Hometown Challenge
Long Days, working on the fly will produce this type of look from me on occasion
Measure twice, print once.
Little cameo with Alexzander the Great
The producers asked me to design a graphic to print on shirts to gift the crew after the wrap of the last episode. I kept it simple with a very clean west coast vibe and sunset gradient.
I would say Knoxx was probably the best at creating her own graphics out of all of the designers (contestants) on the show. This was on of her designs we printed on the inside of a dope ass jacket she made for the Hometown Challenge.
