Dead Seagull Clothing Co.

Founder + Creative Director | 02/2010 - 06/2020

Dead Seagull was a clothing line and eco-minded brand I founded in 2010. I handled all of the design, illustration, and marketing for the company. Maintaining a distinct focus on the ocean and the surf / skate community it was a mechanism for social change. A subtle reminder to respect the world around us, while also balancing an edgier feel and voice in terms of merchandising. I chose to close the online shop and suspend pop-ups during the pandemic.
