I built XTOPHERHARLAN after two decades leading product, creative, and commercial teams inside some of the world’s most iconic brands.

Much of that time was spent apprenticing under some of the industry’s most pioneering founders and CEOs—inside companies that reshaped how brands look, feel, and function.

What started as a one-off project quickly became a practice.
And the studio took shape.

Today, we work side by side with founders, executives, and creative teams.
Sharpening vision. Building product. Aligning brand and business.

XTOPHERHARLAN is a brand consultancy and creative partner for companies navigating growth, reinvention, or fresh starts.

We work across fashion, interiors, and lifestyle.
Some brands are early-stage. Some are legacy.
What they share is a desire to build with clarity—and with taste.

We believe product is the purest expression of a brand.
It’s where strategy, creativity, and commerce meet.
Our work often starts there—and expands outward.

Our specialty is product-led brand building.
Creative. Merchandising. Planning. Structure.
Everything customer-facing. Everything behind the curtain.

Sometimes we advise.
Sometimes we get inside the business and build it with you.

Clients don't come to us for templates.
They come for judgment, clarity, and the ability to connect vision to execution.

The studio was founded in 2020.

Southern California is home. Our work travels.
