Artist Biography
Gabriel Oppenheim is a designer and art director in the music industry. Album artwork, merch, campaigns, branding, the full visual world around an artist and what they’re putting out. Six years in, he’s built that lane himself.
The results speak. RIAA multi-platinum and gold certified artwork. A Clio Award earned through a collaboration with NBA 2K and EMPIRE. Design work tied to a Grammy nominated song. His references run wide from music, fashion, street culture, art, whatever’s actually moving right now, and he’s not afraid to bring unexpected things into the room. The work tends to feel clean and thoughtful, but there’s always intentional risk taking in there. Safe design doesn’t do anything for anyone.
He’s worked fast, collaborated, and worked on projects where the stakes were high and the timeline wasn’t. As comfortable leading a full campaign from concept to rollout as he is crafting a single definitive piece. Either way, the approach doesn’t change: figure out what this thing needs to be, then make it that, all the way through.

Thesis Abstract
FOUND NY is a creative exploration built around the idea that the best things usually aren’t forced, they’re found. Rooted in streetwear, graphics, and visual storytelling, it’s an ongoing world shaped by identity, environment, and the everyday details most people overlook. New York is a core part of the foundation: the raw energy, the edge, the mix of cultures, and the constant movement.
The project pulls from a wide range of references such as: vintage streetwear, music, street culture, old print graphics, and anything that feels real enough to bring forward. The work leans into a clean and intentional aesthetic, but never too polished. There’s always character in it. Pieces are made to feel lived in, not overdesigned.
FOUND is more than clothes. It’s about making pieces people reach for without thinking twice, the ones that become part of a routine and only get better with time. Every release is built with intention: strong graphics, solid garments, and details that matter. No extra noise, no trend chasing, just real streetwear made to last.
