OVERVIEW
IT GIRL was more than a party. It was a cultural moment, an underground fashion week, and a visual love letter to individuality.
I conceptualized, cast, styled, marketed, and hosted the event from start to finish — blending runway energy with campaign-level visuals, street-style chaos, and cinematic flair.
MY ROLE

- Graphic Design – Created all marketing collateral, flyers, and visual assets
- Event Production – Co-organized and hosted the live event

- Experience Design – Created an immersive photo-first experience
