Liam is a childhood friend of mine. He’s always had creativity at his core; his favorite class at our high school put him in front and behind the camera everyday and gave him the freedom to explore his imaginative ideas. He left for Chicago after graduation, studied at Columbia College in the city and found himself working his way through the freelancer community quickly. After landing an internship at Havas Media, an international advertising powerhouse, Liam’s career rapidly accelerated into what it is today. He’s done work for clients such Adidas, Louis Vuitton and Footlocker; filmed artists such as rappers Joey Purp, Chance the Rapper and Vince Staples; and put his innovative work into projects with Yeezy, Complex Con and Volkswagen.
