  • Freelance Digital Product Designer (Contract) at Nike
    Jan 2017 - Mar 2017 · 3 mos

    My Journey with Nike amazing thrill. I was assigned through London based agency to work close to Nike's Amsterdam Marketing team to develop an new concept for the Basketball line of band's products. My duties was to address the main target of the products and create appealing concept for the main athletes the brand is signed with. My initial approach toward this design problem (thinking about the amount of product and the fast pace turnaround) was to create an apply-able construction with capacity to withhold large amount of products, but also to highlight certain product with ease. There are 4 Athletes + Jordan brand so I had to be able to present each line with it's unique atmosphere but also to maintain the frame construction I created at firs place and I decided to go with, and created, an appealing and engaging illustrations for each of the Athletes (Aiming to capture each's one's unique attitude and spirit). This concept was for a product distributed over mid-to-large screens but also the UX and UI is constructed also considering smaller devices as well. Nike loved the concept and I shared it with Behance's community and it's highly recognisable and appreciated by other professionals.
