NIKE SOCCER – NATIONAL TEAM KITS
WORLD CUP 2026
NORTH AMERICA NIKE DIRECT STORES
SR RETAIL PRODUCER, NORTH AMERICA RETAIL BRAND DESIGN // NIKE (via Harvester)
As a die-hard football / soccer fan – getting the opportunity to be a retail producer for National Team Kit launch in March 2026, ahead of the World Cup, was a career highlight. It was a joy working alongside such a talented and hardworking team of producers, designers, and cross-functional teammates to build these fun environments. Built off diverse multi-federation concepts that differed by country, USMNT were branded the ‘Wild Cards’ and I loved how the oversize card concept, in particular, came to life across all Nike Direct doors across North America..
