I didn’t build CONS33TED in a studio, a boardroom, or sitting around trying to guess what would “sell.” I built it from real life, from everything I lived through, pushed through, learned from, and clawed my way out of. From the struggles, the bounce-backs, the nights I couldn’t sleep because ideas wouldn’t leave me alone, and the kind of grit you can’t fake when the cameras turn off.
CONS33TED ORIGIN STORY
CONS33TED didn’t start as a plan. It started as a moment. One photograph. One subject. Something in the frame that felt bigger than just a picture. Then another moment happened. Then another. Pretty soon it wasn’t random, it was a pattern. A shape. A direction.
I took a few shots of Mesu. Then Norja. Then a few others. I looked at these images and realized they weren’t just portraits. They were statements; energy documented.
One idea became a spark. The spark became a blueprint. And then came the question that changed everything:
“Why Not Build The Whole House?”
So I bought the domain, built the site from scratch, and CONS33TED turned into a digital magazine; something with a pulse.
THE MISSION…
If there’s one word that runs this whole thing, it’s Authenticity. I won’t bend it, shrink it, sugarcoat it, or sell it.
I don’t put a price tag on what I create. My work comes from every part of me, and I’ve lived too much life to let a dollar amount decide its value.
My creativity moves through different lanes: Coding. Design. Writing. Photography. Videography. Cinematography. Fashion. Post-production. It’s all connected. It’s all one voice.
CONS33TED exists to show people as they are, raw, sharp, honest, and unfiltered. It’s about community. Humanity. The energy of the streets. Not the “fantasy” version you see in boardroom-made magazines; the real thing.
We’re telling stories in every form we have access to: Written. Audio. Visual.
And it’s all going to grow in stages. Chapters. Levels. Nothing great is ever built in one swing, it even took God seven days to create the world.
THE FUTURE OF CONS33TED?
I’m not here to make wild promises. I’m here to work.
CONS33TED grows one day at a time, one shot at a time, one idea at a time. We won’t know where this goes until we put in the work and release the first quarterly issue.
When that day comes, we’ll see how it feels. If it hits the way it’s supposed to, we’ll wake up the next morning and start again. That’s how this goes.
IN CLOSING…
CONS33TED is bigger than geography, fashion labels, trends, or opinions…
It’s Confidence.
It’s Attitude.
It’s Style.
It’s what the Cover Stars bring to the frame, and how their presence can influence, inspire, and move others.
CONS33TED didn’t come from luxury. It came from life. And now, it stands for a lifestyle.
