My Cause, My Cleats &
Russell Wilson

ILLUSTRATION

During the 2018 football season, I had the opportunity to design cleats for Seahawks QB Russell Wilson in honor of the My Cause, My Cleats campaign; an opportunity where players are able to showcase their passions outside of their professional football careers.

Russell decided to feature his own organization, the Why Not You Foundation–focused on empowering and motivating children into becoming future leaders, influencers, and their best selves. Additionally, alongside his own foundation he featured Friends of the Children, an organization focused on breaking destructive cycles through the power of mentorship to children who are at risk of poverty.

12s Take Flight
Seahawks Murals

ILLUSTRATION

As the illustrator and designer on this project, I was tasked with creating three vibrant wing mural designs, in collaboration with the Seahawks Creative Director, to be displayed for the team’s home opener for the 2018 season. The murals were influenced by PNW Native American artwork, but with a contemporary twist, and meant to get fans excited for gameday as well as make for a fun photo op. These murals can be found in three locations around Seattle: Cinerama, MoPOP, and CenturyLink Field.

Nomadic Spirits

LOGO DESIGN / BRANDING

Nomadic Spirits is a gin for millennials, by millennials, while embodying the values of travel, sustainability, and altruism that many in our generation share. The name is to signify the nature of the products, constantly moving and exploring, by creating gin recipes using botanicals from select regions of the world, allowing you to travel the world through your gin glass while also giving back, as part of the proceeds from each bottle will be donated to a cause in the region that the recipe is inspired from.
