CP3 Woven Shorts: These shorts were my first design for CP3. At the time he had just begun playing for the LA Clippers and was known for his quick, dynamic style of play. I was asked to utilize his team colors as well as incorporate attributes of his personality and playing style into the design. These shorts used a light-weight sweat-wicking woven fabric with breathable closed-hole mesh inlays and ultra light heat transfer logos to reduce distraction on the court.
CP3 HOLIDAY '13: This season was inspired by CP's new lifestyle in LA and his current (at the time) obsession with flashy things like luxury watches, sports cars, designer clothes and the purchase of his new home. You can see some photos of my original inspiration board with tears which really influenced fabric and trim finishes this season, while I continued the triangular design language that had already been established for his signature collection in prior seasons.
TRAINING SP'15: My last project as Apparel Designer II for Jordan Brand was to work with a new product line manager who transfered from the Nike Pro Combat department. We collaborated to develop top-of-the-line training apparel from the Jordan brand perspective. I focused on creating design lines and fabric mixing that tapped into our brand DNA and felt powerful and unique. I leaned on his expertise to aid with key functionality attributes and first-class construction techniques.
