GNAR Snowboarding: A Full-Scope Brand Ecosystem

Building a Lifestyle Brand From Concept to Commerce

[Project Overview]

GNAR Snowboarding was conceived as a bold, youth-driven brand that merges streetwear culture with the adrenaline of snow sports. I led the creative direction from the ground up, developing the logo system, brand identity, product graphics, and packaging, and extending the visual language across digital and physical experiences. The outcome was a cohesive ecosystem that unified storytelling, product, and environment under one design system.

The challenge was to build an entirely new brand presence in a saturated snowboarding market, one that felt both authentic and elevated. GNAR needed a visual identity that would attract the next generation of riders while translating seamlessly across apparel, digital platforms, and retail touchpoints.
