MARKET STUDIOS NYFW PARTY, 2024


Anti-fashion-week; fashion-week party—PROM theme. Tasked with transforming Market’s pop-up store, which was decorated like a Bass Pro Shop (taxidermy and all), into a quintessencial, late 1970s Prom! Over the course of a week, we did everything from styling the fashion show, scouting talent, fabricating the hanging moon for the photobooth, and sourcing and decorating the large space entirely. Over 500 guests attended—it was a blast!

Hosted and Conceptualized by Gucci Pineapple [Alden McWayne]

I developed playful marketing assets for The Mila Bow (my namesake, not the other way around) to revitalize their social media presence, presenting the bow in a fresh, unexpected way. Leading the rebrand of Arc + Bow, I helped expand the brand beyond hair accessories into tote bags, baby tees, and tank tops, all featuring my illustrations and designs. As a woman-owned and operating business, we wanted to transform the new visual identity that helped envision our world as a romantic, glorified, and feminine space.

“Arc + Bow Girls” — Illustrations 2023


I conceptualized and illustrated a campaign for Arc + Bow’s F/W 2023 collection; launching a series of photography of the wonderful customers in the A+B accessories! Inspired by drawn, 1960’s fashion campaigns and “mini mods” paper dolls, I sought to channel characters surrounding each new headband and bow and the fictional world that encompases them.
