Kicking off Nike's Air Force 1: the Force is Female campaign, the film features New York basketball players engaging in real locker room talk. The 4-minute film captures actual locker room banter over, yet touching topics like intersectional feminism, the wake of energy happening in America post Women's March, revealing how sport and locker room chats can act as pivotal moments for education and change. Told through the eyes of the immigrant, the American, the lesbian, the minority, the artist, the athlete.

A documentary film that acts as both video portrait and teaser for limited edition sport trading cards, featuring the National Women’s Ice Hockey team of Mexico.
Utilizing video content to point interest and education towards the inspiring story of the Mexico City-based Ice Hockey team.
For the first time in history, a limited edition sport trading card series is made by, shot by, designed by, and featuring typefaces created by: women. The project aims to liberate and challenge a millennium of male-dominated visual sport culture by placing women in under a new, carefully considered lens within competitive sport culture.
The sport trading cards aim to place accessible, inspiring stories of female heroes into our front pocket. Printed, physical stories to talk about. Stories to share. All proceeds from the sale of cards go to funding the team’s ice rink time.
