Tombolo’s first product collaboration paired our NYC-based brand with Parisian eyewear house Lesca Lunetier. I proposed and led the project from initial wholesale relationship through to final co-branded product. Working closely with Lesca’s team, I co-designed the sunglasses and directed all creative. For the editorial, I aimed to capture the cross-cultural spirit of the collab, commissioning a Paris-based photographer to shoot friends wearing the frames around the city. I provided creative direction remotely, reviewed selects, and paired those images with editorial I shot in NYC to create a dual-city narrative.

The collaboration expanded Tombolo into a new category and marked a step forward in brand maturity and cross-market credibility.

A limited-edition jewelry collaboration with Odissea featuring custom handmade shell necklaces. This project coincided with our women’s product expansion and allowed us to tap into the brand’s highly engaged local audience. I led product design and production, then styled and shot the campaign on a tight budget, creating content that felt intimate and aligned with both brands' aesthetics.

The result was a well-received launch that underscored Tombolo’s evolving voice and helped broaden our audience during a strategic growth period.
