I had an amazing and supportive discussion with some incredible people on Gary Vee’s Podcast With Friends Episode 6. Thanks @garyvee @marvinxdouglas @valentinaferrer for amazing conversation about running your own biz, not letting perfection prevent you from doing, self confidence and getting out of your own way.
It’s my goal to start getting out there more to promote myself and Trophy Hunting®. Stay tuned for this actual episode on Gary’s media platforms soon.
"The Bay Makes The World Takes” By DOC® for Oaklandish available at 10am PST / 1pm EST @ Link in bio.
This 7-piece capsule pays homage to my roots as a designer, artist, and Bay Area native celebrating The Bay’s global influence.
The Bay has historically thrived by embracing its uniqueness and fostering local talent. Our validation often originates within our communities first, not through external opinion.
But when Too $hort moved to Atlanta and the Raiders left The Town for L.A., the notion of having to leave the Bay for ‘better opportunities’ was first planted in my mind. Up until that point, I was surrounded by the culture and passion of landmark moments like the A’s winning the World Series, the 49ers dominating football, and Run TMC performing in front of the livest NBA audiences.
So when I too, chose to ‘leave the Bay’ and pursue my dream of becoming a designer, it put back into focus what I had actually left behind. I saw the uniqueness of my influences and upbringing as an asset. My surroundings instilled a particular kind of grit, hustle, and underdog mentality in me. I’ve carried this mentality and inspiration everywhere I go.
This capsule celebrates those who spread Bay Area culture wherever they arrive. Unlike teams that leave the Bay— when locals leave ‘The Town’, they forever carry its essence within them.

The start of the NBA season is always special. Not only will the Warriors get their rings tonight, but a brand that I helped create alongside some friends will also be officially collaborating with the @Warriors. The collection honors the dynasty “currently in process” 😉 with a tee, crewneck sweatshirt & an amazing hat in collaboration with ‘47.
Head to @trophyhunting for more info on how to purchase.
This is a major milestone for me, personally. Even though I’ve worked with the Warriors in designing “The Town” uniform, and other co-branded projects for NBA teams. It hits different when you look at the road it took, to be able to work with such a storied franchise and league as an independent minority owned business.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.
