Symbol Breakers: My 2026 Theme Sheet

It’s been a while now and I’m currently interested in the satisfaction of a completed project. In that sense I’m picking up where I left off.

To recap, I built a model for cultural brands and the next step was building out the mechanism to test it. All of this work makes the argument that creativity is a necessary, generative system. The point of this Theme Sheet is to frame my plan for putting together my first creative project. It includes a research paper, something like my canon source, “Speculative Everything”, a brand world and an exhibition.

This research centers on systems of culture creation, particularly as tools for imagining future society. Intertwined with my personal fashion/culture studies curriculum and the second part of my brand management ecosystem. World-building as the next layer for turning an ecosystem into a fully inhabitable brand world, using the mechanics of show bibles, science fiction and brand strategy playbooks.

A high level, public layer of my creative practice.
