Overview:
During my 2.5 years at Sports Academy (formerly Mamba Sports Academy), I was responsible for the creation and delivery of 600+ finished projects ranging from logos to prints, presentation decks, social graphics, facility signage, and more. As the Senior Art & Graphic Designer, I took special care in developing unique visual styles for the various sub-brands of the company, and was also responsible for establishing consistent brand styles throughout two separate rebranding endeavors. In addition to my primary work, I was also tasked with creating content for partner companies including Legends Lacrosse, Baylor Scott & White, and the Los Angeles Dodger Training Academy.
