Made this for us.
Full transparency: I love streetwear, but noticed most of the brands I was buying from were by white males. So started designing stuff for black women. Made the prices as low as possible and coming out of my own pocket for the overhead. So it's not about $$.

Real talk...we've lost a few followers on Trenches in the last few days. Wonder if it's because we started posting the Trenches Blk content. Big shouts to everyone that is still supporting! It means alot!

5 years ago I applied for a job at ESPN and didn't get it. A few months pass and I received an email from
@sportingpress1
about another position within the company. That day changed my life forever.
Bittersweet sweet to announce my time at ESPN has come to an end. ❤️

Things I learned dealing with creative block:
1. Taking a break from the computer/ phone screen is ideal.
2. Sketching ideas on paper helps.
3. Inspiration can be found in newspapers, clothing, trains and everything else.
4. Every creative goes through it.

Introducing trenchesblk!
It's been on my mind for a few months to create a safe space for blk creatives in the Trenches within the sports, culture & entertainment industry. Now seemed like the perfect time to celebrate our culture and creativity!

Am I the only one who still has imposter syndrome? Sometimes I struggle with if I’m actually a good designer or not, but then I have to remind myself that I deserve to have a seat at the table.

True story. The art direction was inspired by water cups that popped up in our kitchen at work. We wanted to give it a 80s/90s inspired vibe since the story is about historical CBB players.

Found out today that I was featured in a showcase at my old high school. I come from a small town and to know that kids there are inspired by my story means the world to me.
Childersburg made me who I am today.

My favorite four themes. I really can’t say in what order. All of the illustrators made this project great to work on.

Things I would tell my younger self:
1. When one door closes there’s another one that will be open.
2. Be patient. Timing is everything.
3. Don’t get discouraged by others’ path to success, everyone has a different road.
4. Make the best out of your current situation.

5 year design challenge. Wow...my work has come a long way. My type skills were trash. I was doing too much. Simple is always better.😂

This might be the biggest project that I’ve worked on since joining ESPN. We built an interactive NBA All-Star Draft that lets you play against the computer.

Also, I see everything. Just a reminder to younger designers. If you’re looking to break into any industry, be mindful of calling out bad design work. There’s a person on the other end of that design that probably saw your tweet.

I came up with the name Trenches to celebrate every designer, creative or dreamer grinding in the Trenches. It’s not glamorous, but it’s where the hard work is done. Keep grinding, it will payoff in the long run.

It’s been a minute since I did anything designs for fun. Inspired by my obsession with Travis Scott. Use your gift in life, whatever it might be.

Must say. In the past year I’ve met more designers of color than I have since I started my career. As someone who was the only minority in a majority of their college classes and jobs it’s encouraging to know there are others who look like me.

Followers went down we I started tweeting more about black lives than sports design. Remember when dudes use to literally cyber bully me for not posting their stuff on

All that took the love out of it over time.

I was asked to create a wallpaper for
@OnHerTurf
that would speak to the current climate. My message was simple. "Empower her."
It's one thing to have black friends or employees, but I have to ask does she, her or they feel empowered? Do they have a voice in your circle?

Been inspired by A.I. since he took a game from Kobe and Shaq in the finals with no help.

Things Twitter has taught me:

2. Networking is key.
3. There’s creativity in all of us.
4. There’s a person behind every profile.
5. Ask and you shall receive.
