NIKE LIVE TOOLKIT
Brand 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

CHASE FREEDOM UNLIMITED x NBA
Digital Design


We Talkin' Bout Cashbacking was released during the 2023 NBA playoffs to highlight the perks of the Chase Freedom Unlimited card. Whether we’re talkin’ bout cashbacking, questioning the purpose of Stephen Curry’s mouthguard, or giving a little wink to Allen Iverson, we met life long NBA fans where they’re at, merging the words of basketball and cashbacking. 2023

FAST TWITCH JACKET
Apparel Design + Art Direction


Gatorade & PepsiCo’s newest energy drink, Fast Twitch, wanted to host a launch event during the 2023  Superbowl weekend in Arizona and briefed my team to create a loud and energetic debut for the product launch. The product launch was a varsity jacket, which I designed and illustrated all of the patches. I also assisted in directing all photography for the shoot of the event. This included product, event, social influencer, athlete and celebrity photography. Some of the event guests were the brand’s sponsored athletes: DK Metcalf, George Kittle, Kahleah Copper, Stefon Diggs, & more. 2023
