Role

Manager, Creative

Overview

Context

I led the early creative for Legacy Night, designing the logo, initial layout, and visual direction for social content, in-arena displays, scoreboards, and on-site event collateral. I also created overlays and lower thirds for video assets.

Problem

The challenge was creating an identity that honored legacy and remembrance without feeling somber—something celebratory, modern, and respectful at the same time.

Process

I built a visual approach inspired by the historic shine of the Stanley Cup and Nike’s clean, confident design language. This guided tone, typography, and the overall aesthetic across platforms. My team carried the direction forward through full campaign and arena execution.

Impact

Legacy Night achieved a strong visual presence that celebrated history without heaviness, creating an elevated experience for fans and honorees alike.
