Design Process:


Nike Blue Ribbon Studio (BRS)

I had the unique opportunity to explore both Jordan Brand and Nike's design processes. These two entities, while distinct, share the same corporate umbrella. As a Jordan Brand Intern, I delved into the world of high-level design sophistication, while as a Nike Intern, I worked under the guidance of the Nike Blue Ribbon design team, a creative hub where Nike's design innovators recharge and push their imaginations to the limits. I took the initiative to learn from the diverse designers present, immersing myself in their design philosophies, which significantly contributed to my growth as an aspiring designer, providing a comprehensive perspective on athletic and lifestyle design.




Inspiration and Exploration

In the design process, I actively immersed myself in Nike's design ethos, drawing inspiration from the talented designers around me. I began a journey of conceptualization and exploration, pushing the boundaries of creativity. To bring my ideas to life, I harnessed the cutting-edge tools and resources at my disposal, such as Nike Blue Ribbon's 3D printers, screen printing presses, laser cutters, and dip dye stations. These innovative tools enabled me to experiment with diverse graphic design elements, from intricate and detailed illustrations to bold and abstract concepts, ultimately contributing to the creation of a variety of graphics for Nike Sportswear Apparel.
