It started with an old photo taken by my father - a 95 year old Korean War Veteran, of me as a child sporting peace at the bow of a boat belonging to my grandfather, a legendary Norfolk policeman, known for his fearlessness and honesty, when corruption and poverty were widespread. While dad’s photo was already promoting peace as the cover photo of my “Peace begets Peace” FB Group started during the pandemic, this campaign continues a family legacy (both parents served in the military) of service. Thank you for your support and service.

Shoe the 757 can call their own /
A shoe design for the 757 to build our brand. Highlighting our region’s rich nautical history, I created a logo framing our 757 with a porthole, added dock rope trim, used a sand colored bottom sole, water blue midsole, and the 4 sides of a boat as the 4 sides of the shoe, emphasizing the STAR of the right side, STARboard, to emphasize that we are the stars of the 757 - this shoe doesn’t represent a single celebrity to add to their vast fortune, but it represents the region and its constituents. The friendly mammal - the dolphin at the front of the shoe serves to represent our welcoming nature, sort of an extended hand. Putting our best foot forward, I want these shoes to be manufactured locally to build “Made in the 757” brand.
