Ellen Ma, the female Streetwear Art Director of Chicago.
As part of Apple's Streetwear month, I was invited to speak as a high profile guest, the first of five. I positioned my talk around how I use streetwear as a political weapon, and the influences that inspire my work: hip-hop and Chinese culture. After showing off a sneak peek release of the upcoming Hundreds collaboration with Leaders, I led a workshop using Apple's Procreate software. I invited the audience to participate and create a T-shirt design exploring issues prevalent in the community, all of which I personally gave positive feedback.
