Raised by Wolves

Anchoring the products they make in their values around community, sustainability, and creativity. Raised by Wolves began their journey by selling t-shirts and snap-back hats out of their parents basements, and grew to into a world renowned Canadian streetwear brand that sold their products to over 50 stockists worldwide and have collaborated with leading brands from all over the globe.

Raised by Wolves spent most of their earlier years in a neighbourhood in southwestern Montreal. It was at this time that I joined their ranks as their first ever Graphic Designer. I joined a very small team of five, and worked very closely with their incredible Founder and Creative Director, Cal Green. Working for Raised by Wolves was one of the biggest growing opportunities I’ve ever had. Not only did I get to be a driving force behind some really fun apparel and product design, I got to see what it truly takes to run a thriving business from the ground up. I got to see what it was like to be there every step of the way through the singular journey of a product. From early conception and inspiration, strategy and mood boarding, experimentation, illustration, design, print and pre-production setup, wholesale, sourcing, print and garment production, sampling, product photography, look book photoshoots, marketing material, e-commerce platforms, all the way to product launches and flash drops. There was never a dull day at this company and never a time I didn’t feel challenged to step out and into a new box, or get to meet and work with so many inspiring creatives, and hard working people.
