For this collaboration, our aim was to transport Pendleton from the forest to the beach, creating a seamless fusion between two distinct worlds. The design concept was born from the idea that although we share the same coastline, our origins are vastly different. Embracing the rugged charm of Venice Beach as a counterpoint to the serene beauty of the Tillamook Forest, we sought to blend these contrasting elements into a cohesive and captivating collection. Through this collaboration, we aimed to celebrate the diversity of landscapes and cultures while staying true to Pendleton's rich heritage and timeless appeal.

Two storied brands.
 One instantly iconic collection. 
In 2019, Hurley and Carhartt united forces to create the most functional, durable and lightweight product made to outwork the water. We partnered with the masters of workwear for a four season collaboration with unique collections dropping every 3 months. We launched the campaign with a video introduction of the two brands highlighting their heritage, ethos and outlining the design philosophy behind the collection. At the same time we released a zine which helped deepen the story and highlighted Season One’s product collection.
To bring these products stories to life we casted a group of people, all from diverse backgrounds with a common thread of love for the ocean and acquire unique craftsmanship.

This project stands out as one of my all-time favorite collections to work on. Teaming up with Yaia Gift, we set out to infuse our surf team riders with a fresh sense of identity and character, reminiscent of how a skate team would approach a new year. We dove deep into the essence of each surfer, uncovering their spirit animal and crafting a unique color palette, personalized typeface, and graphic aesthetic that would unify our team of 8 riders. The result? A collection that not only showcased individual personalities but also forged a strong sense of unity among the riders, akin to the camaraderie found within a skate team.
