Personal Brand Exploration

1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Kenny Edmund
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
May 7, 2023

2. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida; a city
well-known for being the melting pot of diverse
culture, art and entertainment. Growing up with
an African and Caribbean background, from
both parents respectively, I was already
exposed to music of different genres as a child. I
also developed an interest in animated films, TV
shows and trivia. Some years later in my teens, I
became fascinated with Hip-Hop culture and
fashion. Watching my favorite artists transition
into moguls, while displaying the effects of
“being your own boss” is what eventually caught
my eye as I got older. Therefore, I created an
LLC showcasing my creativity—that being of
music and fashion—with goals of obtaining and
growing a successful brand.

You know how they say that fashion can affect the psychology of younger
generations? Well, what I do is sell merchandise which can be affordable
and accessible to all audiences, where no one feels excluded or as if the
merchandise is out of reach. In fact, my website contains Afterpay, a digital
platform offered to online shoppers allowing them to delay payments on
purchases.
