Utah Jazz, Junior Jazz Illustration set A set of illustrations for the youth program of the Utah Jazz. This was a new endeavor for the Jazz brand team. It came to be the illustrated mascots seen here: the Grizzly, the Basketball, the Beehive, the Hoop, the Hand, the Sax, and the Mountain. Each image pulled reference from Utah and its culture.

After living all across the East Coast, I summarized my adventures into a small art show. Pieces were created digitally and rendered into different formats including adhesive stickers, large posters, and handmade zines. The theme was mainly around NYC but aimed to capture personal memories and a general ethos of the city.
Shown here are the iconography. The attempt was to create single objects/icons as physical memories.
Accompanying these works was a large hand sewn piece, and an animated short entitled “Just Visiting”, which was the title of the art show.

My main focus was on their illustration and motion design systems. I created their initial libraries and lead the initial team for the rollout. I love the work we did their:)
