Nike World Headquarters

Created for Nike World Headquarters at the Philip H. Knight Campus in Beaverton, Oregon, this series featured large-scale athlete illustrations installed across the stairwell and hallways leading to the executive and board member offices. The athlete references, crops and placements were planned around the scale of each wall, the viewing distance and the way people moved through the space. Athletes illustrated: Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Ashton Eaton, Allyson Felix and Neymar.
