HOTSUPPLY
NEW YORK, NY

HOTSUPPLY is my creative alter-ego in the Metaverse - I live in this mindset and work to conceptualize new retail experiences with a focus on world and object building. My work flows in between the realms of digital and physical experiences.

This body of work is to utilize 100% of my knowledge in one space, bridging my industrial design background with immersive retail experiences. The trajectory of my career and life is to meet this future version of myself somewhere in the middle.
