Close to the end of 2018 I was given the incredible opportunity by Touchstone Creative to design for Barstool Sports and Old Row Sports, two of the largest social media based companies globally. Working solely freelance through an online team program was a new endeavor for me, that turned into fun work and a great learning experience. With nothing more than basic direction and understanding of what was wanted I created pieces for their lines of holiday apparel with a few odds and ends scattered in. Mainly a large number "Ugly Christmas Sweaters."
After the creation period and Black Friday sale for these sweaters I began seeing them pop up all over my social feed. First Old Row, then Barstool. By the post my designs were getting hundreds of thousands of views from the two companies ever expandning fan-base. Along with the individual posts, I was lucky enough to see players and coaches of schools I designed for wearing what I had been working on just days earlier.
