Malik is a non-traditional creative, art director, strategist, clothing designer + stylist, and content creator with Senegalese roots, Western Massachusetts beginnings, and a point of view shaped by fashion, sport, music, food, travel, and the internet being deeply unserious. He makes work with a pulse. Ideas with taste, timing, and enough human truth to help brands actually belong in culture.
He believes Curren$y belongs in the Library of Congress, dinner is a love language, and How to Make It in America deserved more than two seasons. He also needs to get on The Amazing Race while his knees still work. Outside of briefs, he’s usually designing clothes, making videos, cooking, solo traveling, people-watching, or turning something he saw on the street into an idea.
