Roark Revival

Artifacts of Adventure

A selection of projects done in collaboration with Roark’s in-house creative team including photography direction, editorial design and digital-first seasonal campaigns as well as collab launches with brands like Pendelton and Wrangler. 

Each season begins by documenting an adventure trip featuring brand ambassadors who showcase the new line. Horseback riding in Argentina, surfing in Oaxaca or riding motorcycles on the Continental Divide Trail help Roark demonstrate the verstatility of their clothing, which is at home both for a night out in the city as well as an excursion out of the country.
