About the project

This project started as a passion. I was illustrating musicians I admired and posting the work — Big K.R.I.T.'s management and art direction team found it on Instagram and brought me on as a merch designer.

Working directly with the team, I designed graphics for online drops, pop-up releases, and official tour collections — translating the tone, themes, and Southern storytelling of each project into wearable visuals that felt authentic to K.R.I.T.'s audience.

The collaboration also extended into motion graphics, creating visual content for the artist's social feed during drops and campaign moments.
