NIKE LIVE TOOLKIT
Digital Design + Motion Design



While working at R/GA as a junior designer on the Nike account, I designed this toolkit for the Nike Live Lifestyle store concept, which was sent out to every global Nike Live store in anticipation to opening. The assets were utilized as the marketing starting point for each store’s pre-launch and launch rollout strategy. 2022

DOPAMINE MAGAZINE
Art Direction + Editorial Design 



“Dopamine” Magazine was a project developed during the Master’s in Art Direction & New Narratives. Based on the concept of dopamine, my team and I created an editorial publication. We traveled to Lanzarote, where in two weeks we shot all analog photographs and turned them into seven editorial articles to fill the content of the magazine. I was in charge of the overall editorial design for the publication, and the art direction for the article featured: Primitive Purge. The publication was printed on A3 pages and presented at a final exhibition. 2025
