About Billz
Creative Director & Visionary Behind The Conqueror Collective
based in Chicago
I go by Billz—short for Billionaire, a reflection of the abundance I’m building, not just in wealth, but in creativity, community, and legacy. I’m a 29-year-old Black, Afro-Latino creative born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, proudly rooted in the cultures of Belize, Honduras, and Haiti. Everything I create is an offering to those roots—an extension of my family, my heritage, and my purpose.
Over the years, I’ve built a trusted reputation as a creative director and photographer, capturing everything from intimate moments to high-profile citywide events. My work has supported the leadership of Chicago Public Schools, the City of Chicago, and other key community organizations. Whether behind the lens or leading a creative production, I show up with excellence, adaptability, and a deep commitment to making every frame and every interaction intentional.
I understand how important it is to create spaces that are inclusive, affirming, and liberating—especially for Black, brown, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented communities. Whether it's through photography, event curation, or creative collaboration, my goal is always to make people feel seen, safe, and celebrated. The Conqueror Collective is rooted in that vision—where identity, artistry, and community come together without compromise.
The Conqueror Collective isn’t just about me. It’s about us. A growing hub for creatives to collaborate, shine, and give back to the communities that shaped us. Whether I’m curating visuals, designing event spaces, mentoring young talent, or organizing philanthropic efforts, I lead with authenticity, style, and intention. From visuals to vibes, from plants to parties—I’m bringing all the pieces of who I am to this work.
And I'm just getting started.
