RYCE NYC
Stoning
Worked on various rhinestoning projects, from embellishing pairs of velvet boots to creating intricate pasties in many designs, shapes, and colors.
Harnesses
I dived into various creative tasks, from prepping and skillfully painting leather to fashioning a PVC and gold hardware harness explicitly designed for a sample sale. Along the way, I acquired new skills, delving into the art of draping and pattern-making in terms of body harnesses, all while mastering the use of a fresh set of tools.
Website
I played a role in establishing and structuring a new website and online store, leveraging my trend research and analysis skills to ensure optimal pricing, aesthetics, and overall presentation. Additionally, I contributed to developing dedicated "archive" pages showcasing previous projects, serving as a valuable source of inspiration for potential new clients. Furthermore, I handled crafting compelling product pages for the store, integrating existing photographs, and photographing and editing new visuals as required.
Photoshoots
Had a hand in the setup and takedown of backdrops and lighting to meticulously dressing dress forms in full costume or simple harnesses or accessories. I took and/or assisted with the photographing and adjusted lighting as we moved on from one outfit to the next. My involvement didn't stop there; I meticulously edited the photos, preparing them to be published on the site and social media.
