Biography
After an intense but enjoyable 14-year journey building my brand, The Bearhug (Co.) Ltd., from 2010 to 2024, I am chuffed to re-enter the world of freelancing, this time with Dixon Supply Co. Ltd. When I found pockets of time, I collaborated on projects with brands such as Nike, Wieden + Kennedy, Mundial, & Brooks Dry Cider, working on branding, original artwork, marketing, & design - these areas will be my main focus when looking for new opportunities. At its peak, The Bearhug employed 15 individuals, had over 500,000 followers, & operated a full production facility equipped with industrial automatic screen printing presses, DTG, and embroidery machines. As the owner, I was involved in various aspects of the brand, which eventually led my wife & me to the tough decision to wrap up the company. However, this experience allowed me to develop a strong skill set and in-depth knowledge of integrated practices, enabling me to offer a unique perspective.
