WAS BLACK™
is a black-owned design agency at the intersection of food/bev + fashion. our mission is to create products and media that educates our customers. we specialize in bespoke products (find in our gift shops CWB + JWB) that represent the traditions of our childhoods. creating inside industries that often marginalize the “black” voice, but use “black” labor + consumerism to fund their ideas. we reverse engineer those strategies and create consumer-forward products, through the lens of our founder/designer Malcolm Voltaire.

In addition to creating products, we design and curate menus, create the marketing assets, and project manage events throughout the Metro Atlanta area (and beyond). we specialize in using design as a bridge for emerging ideas and rebranding, that evolves into dynamic outcomes inside static industries. to learn more about how we can align our missions, please reach out to the email below.
