I designed a fully custom functional combination padlock in the shape of cherries for the Glossier Black Cherry Collection launch. This sold-out merch item was inspired by the automotive materiality of the Black Cherry OOH campaign and the accessible luxury ethos of the Glossier brand. I also designed the Black Cherry Collection seeding kit which featured the full product collection in a reusable red velvet jewelry box with a rear-view mirror twist. For the 10th anniversary of Glossier, we launched a limited edition collection of items.
Sold Out within 2 hours! I was tasked with coming up with location specific merch items that would only be avaiable for purchase at this location.

Under the name, Fulanita , Paloma Izquierdo and I have a collaborative partnership. Together, we exploit feminization as a tool that is dismissed and unnoticed for our own gain.
