The Little Black (Sweater) Dress by PattyBoutik

Black is a powerful color (or absence thereof) and so I reserve my little black sweater dress for when I need to emphasize my inner boss-bitch ENTJ at the office. As women in the workplace, we are challenged to project modesty and professionalism while maintaining a feminine silhouette, but a lot of us are missing the […]

‘Cause y’all know I eat, sleep, and breathe branding… I’m so excited to finally share the Johnnie Walker spec ad I worked on with up-and-coming Miami production powerhouse Luminary Visuals.
