Class Photo Arizona was my first proper pet project, and my first time registering an LLC to my name. It was my attempt at creating interesting street-wear and fashion photography. It was the beginning business project which allowed me to fuse all of my favorite types of art into a single entity. I started it at 16 years old and was active with seasonal releases, look books, magazines, themed collections, along with years of collaborations with local musicians, models, customers, and fans alike. It was an outlet for me to expand my talents, learn new skills, and make connections with locals in the Phoenix art community. It became a signature piece of who I am, which I enjoyed sharing with my community. Seeing strangers wear my designs out in public was always surreal. This happened many times and I was often pleased by people knowing my brand, but not knowing me personally.

Starting my first proper business so young taught me many hard lessons about logistics & marketing, as well as design. I tasked myself with fulfilling every aspect of my media output, from Photography, Post Production, Editing, Video, Graphic Design, Illustration, Screen Printing, and more. In this time I also learned how to solve complex issues in business and marketing.
