Chosen as one of 12 finalists from over 200 submissions, my original design went on to receive over 18,300 votes through Instagram, ultimately earning first place.

Inspired by my love for the outdoors, and roots in the midwest, the design features a playful trout and loon. Following the competition, Chaco brought my artwork to life as a collection of sandals, dog collars, and dog leashes.

This collaboration gave me the opportunity to see my artwork move beyond the digital canvas and onto real products with a nationally recognized outdoor brand.
