BIO
In 2004, we were invited to direct a film documenting the construction of an architectural installation to be exhibited at the courtyard of PS1/MoMA. We knew each other from Boston (our Art Schools were next to each other), but it wasn't until we moved to New York that we became closer friends and started working collaboratively.
The documentary became our first work experience together. We spent two months shooting and editing what ended up being a 10-minute video piece later exhibited at PS1/MoMA. During the process of making the video, we discovered that we had many things in common: our love for film, music, design, fashion, and art. We also shared the need to create crafted and provocative work that wasn't constrained to any specific media, which could be both artistic and commercial. And so, Mogollon was born in Brooklyn, NY in 2005, as an art direction studio where artistic expression often meets with the commercial palette of the global community at large.
In the following years, Mogollon has developed into a boutique-style art direction studio that produces powerful and iconic work across virtually every platform. We continue to art direct and consult with brands and individuals around the globe. The work of Mogollon has been featured in prestigious books and magazines such as "Tactile" and "Neo Geo" by Die Gestalten, Grafik Magazine, Communication Arts and Etapes Magazine, just to name a few.
