The Cohort

Pick yourlane. Buildyour crew.

Every cohort is multidisciplinary. You bring your craft; the Village gives you a crew and a real brief to build around.

Creative Lanes
Photography

Photography

Shoots first, apologizes never. Editorial, portrait & documentary frames with a pink streak of chaos.

Film + Production

Film + Production

Calls action like it's a lifestyle. Directs, shoots and cuts stories one handheld frame at a time.

Beauty

Beauty

Brushes out like playing cards. Builds bold, graphic beauty looks that read from across the street.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design

Type nerd. Sticker hoarder. Turns briefs into layouts with thick black outlines and zero fear.

Marketing + Social

Marketing + Social

Ring light always charged. Turns campaigns into moments and moments into movements.

Journalism + Copywriting

Journalism + Copywriting

Pen behind the ear, receipts in the notebook. Writes the words that hold every Issue together.

Creative Direction / Styling

Creative Direction / Styling

One raised eyebrow can kill a moodboard. Styles the vision and directs the whole frame.
