Swish Projects (Gallery)
Role: Co-founder, Curator, Marketing
Partners: John Itiola, Julian Klincewicz
Agency: Swish Projects
Year: 2019-2022
I co-founded and operated Swish Projects (Gallery), an independent commercial gallery devoted to presenting a dynamic mix of emerging and established artists. More than just an exhibition space, it served as a cultural extension of our creative agency, Swish Projects—a platform where art, design, and storytelling converged.
I oversaw every facet of the gallery’s operations, from curating exhibitions and fostering artist relationships to conducting interviews, leading marketing initiatives, and managing sales. This role required a seamless blend of creative vision, strategic insight, and hands-on adaptability, ensuring both artistic integrity and commercial success.
Some of our featured artists included;
Aaron Glasson, Jacob Rochester, Amel Janae, Lilian Martinez (BFGF), Sergio Hernandez, Bob Dominguez, India Thompson, Stephen Milner, Marina Grize, Lissa Corona, AJ Kahn, La Jolla Country Day Middle, Alberto Figueroa, Bill McMullen, Avia Rose Ramm, Elevator Teeth, Itamar Lilienthal, Nate Morales, Enchi Wang, Dylan Roberts, Joe G, Adam Villacin, Lora Mathis, Bilal Mohamed, Catalina Bellizzi-Itiola and Meredith Habermann.
Special thanks to Daniel Lang, Daniel Huynh, Kaidan Pascua, and Jake Hannah for their invaluable help with art handling and gallery preparation.
