Seahawks Holiday &
Event Illustrations

ROLE

Illustrator

︎ NEW / ILLUSTRATION

Illustrations created for various holidays and events that were used across Seattle Seahawks social media platforms between 2019-2020.

Holidays are a time for celebration and sometimes remembrance. I’ve always strived to mix things up a bit by thinking creatively about holiday graphics and ways they can stand out in the feed, be impactful, and also tie into the team.

ROLE

Designer & Illustrator

︎ 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

ROLE

Contract Designer & Illustrator

︎ 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.
