BRANDON MOON HIPPY AT HEART CLOTHING, OWNER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR; IMAGEN BRANDS, REGIONAL SALES MANAGER Favorite things to do and places to go in Pittsburgh: When I’m in the city, I like to go to Gaucho Parrilla Argentina and Condado Tacos to eat. I go to as many networking events as possible, such as Creatives Drink. I’m not around as much since I moved recently, so I try to use my time wisely and work on my clothing line when I’m here. Typically, it’s for a long weekend, including photoshoots, or linking up with other people I’m collaborating with. You might see me on South Side with my jawns, too. Favorite people to go with: I’ve got a solid group of friends I went to Point Park University with and my crew from back home that I normally end up with. Good vibes only.
