Graphic art, visuals, and apparel designs for Valleti ™, my own personal brand project created in 2023. Stemming from the word “valley”, in my hometown Valley Stream, Valleti ™ serves as a visual translation to my inner creative thoughts. I express admiration for the art styles of vintage aesthetics found in old news articles, photographs, paintings, drawings, and more. Evoked by the slogan “modernized vintage”, Valleti ™ serves to curate techniques used in the past, and mitigate them into modern-day fashion seen in today’s world.
