Screen Shot: Unidentified Corporation

City Based: San Diego, California

What inspired the brand name?

The name Unidentified Corporation came about because I did not want to place a limit on what I could do with the brand and I did not want it to be defined or identified by one thing. I also knew I wanted to create a diverse brand so corporation was an interesting suffix as the nature of the brand is very anti-establishment at it's core so it is also a jab at the corporate art & "streetwear" that has flooded the market recently.

At what moment did you realize you wanted to start a brand?

Around July/August 2014 is when I started seriously planning to start a brand. I knew absolutely nothing about what went into a brand but I researched for a long time and March 2015 is when I released my first product and have been growing ever since.

What helps you get over creative blocks?

Conversation, even if it is unrelated to what I'm working on I can usually pick out a word or phrase that will lead me down a creative path

What is the biggest mistake you have made?

Putting my clothes in a store on consignment. Also making certain products that are expensive that I'm not fully ready for. However all the mistakes I have made have contributed to the process of growing as a brand.

What is the biggest success you have had?

I would say my most recent pop-up shop. I was able to work with another great brand (Rottweiler) and bring something to 3rd. Avenue in down town Chula Vista which meant a lot to me because it is my hometown.
