Eras for Artists + Cult Brands.
Where Subculture Meets the Mainstream.
I build eras for artists and cult brands where subculture meets the mainstream.
For over 15 years, I’ve been the person who makes the fringe and nascent feel like a breakthrough: shaping early narratives around emergent designers and left-field artists for places like Dazed and Rolling Stone, often at the exact point where fashion and music collide. On the brand side, I’ve carried that same instinct into beauty brands, cult labels, and mega-brands with subcultural souls.
Most recently, I served as Narrative + Brand Story Lead for BTS’s 2026 ARIRANG comeback era at HYBE/BigHit, shaping the era’s story frame and narrative backbone and carrying the global narrative and voice across channels.
Today I work as a fractional creative director and narrative strategist, partnering with artists, brands, and agencies to:
define the myth and story frame for a new era, launch, or rebrand
translate it into language, concepts, and campaign worlds
keep product, visuals, and voice all speaking the same story — from deck to billboard to press note.
If it lives in culture, has a fanbase (or wants one), and needs a point of view, that’s my lane.
Let’s make something iconic.
Plug me in. I’ll find the signal.
