Outrider was an original brand concept I developed during my first year at CSU (2021–2022) as part of my application to the Apparel Design concentration. Fortunately, I was accepted into the program and went on to graduate with a degree in the concentration in December 2024. This project marked my first experience using Adobe programs to create technical flats and a professional slide deck (below).

The brand drew inspiration from classic military silhouettes and detailing, reimagined with a feminine and futuristic sensibility. I incorporated deadstock military materials to connect the designs to their utilitarian roots while giving them new life. Although my design work has evolved significantly since then, I still look back on Outrider as a reminder of where my creative voice began.
