collaborate
Leading a project from end to end is what I love to do most, but sometimes I learn more from a collaborative project where my job is to tie the bow on a finished product. Here are some examples of those collaborations.
Olympic Board Project
Sponsor boards
Ran point on operations for a series of boards commissioned by the US Olympic Committee. The first request was to create 36 surf boards to be put on display at the Nike Olympic Village house for the duration of the Rio Olympics. Surf boards were shaped by Pyzel Surfboards and embellished with a board decal inspired by each sponsor of the 2016 Olympic games.
2028 Olympic Bid
After the games, one board was commissioned to be gifted to the International Olympic Committee as part of the presentation to secure Los Angeles’ bid for the 2028 summer games. It eventually became part of the city-wide “Follow the Sun” campaign in anticipation of the official announcement that Los Angeles will host the 2028 Olympic games.
United States ARt Boards
Also after the games, these 5 boards were commissioned as gifts for special individuals to Team USA. One was signed by every athlete of the US team and presented to President Barack Obama at a White House dinner.
coffee for a cause
Participated on the team that partnered with Common Room Roasters to help Waves for Water in their efforts to provide clean drinking water to people globally. Common Room sourced, roasted and distributed a single origin naturally processed coffee bean, Hurley designed, produced and gift with purchase tee shirt and 100% of the proceeds were donated to Waves for Water.
