I was given the opportunity to design my interpretation of what the Boston Celtics mascot ‘Lucky the Leprechaun’ would look like if he took off his derby and swapped it for a headband.

This logo was used in collaboration with CNCPTS to create a cap in two colorways, Black/Grey and Green/White. This exclusive snapback was limited to 22 units of each colour.

This design was apart the Paul Pierce Number Retirement Collection.

The New Era Cap Country Camo collection was inspired by the US military uniform pattern. Each cap features a military camo print with a velcro American Flag patch at the front panel.

We originally meant for this collection to be much bigger, using the military print from countries all over the world along with their country flag as the removable velcro patch but unfortunately due to legal reasons we weren’t able to secure those specific patterns.

My first Design Session that I travelled for was with the Miami Heat to help put together a collection of caps for their Court Culture store located inside the American Airlines Arena.

Travis Scott wearing the NBA League Script cap that I designed. This cap was also apart of the 2018 NBA All-Star collection that I put together.

NBA All-Star 2018 was the very first project I was given to work on when I started at New Era. The first concept that I pitched eventually became the NBA Curve Script Collection.

The Varsity Pin Snapback Collection features a 100% Wool cap with MLB team abbreviations using felt and chenille appliqué's to create varsity jacket style lettering.

At the front panel you’ll also find an official team enamel pin.

For the City Pin Collection I designed pin sets for the top major sports cities in the MLB.

Each cap feature pins that showcase a mixture of city monuments, landmarks, popular foods, and state/province flags.

We used authentic ostrich leather on the visor that’s complemented by an 18K gold pin for this luxury edition cap from the Kobe Bryant Retirement Series. Only eight of these caps were produced with each retailing for $5,824.08 USD. Kobe was given one of them.

The cap also features a custom Kobe Bryant retirement logo that I designed that is used on the front of the cap and the pin. I originally drew it to include 5 tiny championship trophies in-between the 8 and 24, but they were too small to be embroidered.

The 2nd collection from the Kobe Bryant Retirement Series are the NBA Milestones caps to commemorate his career achievements as #8 and #24

Honoring some of Kobe’s memorable moments on the court, included in the collection are hats that pay tribute to his total points scored, championship seasons, All-Star Game appearances, and total games played.

For Kobe Bryant’s jersey retirement in December of 2017 I was tasked to design a series of caps to commemorate Kobe’s career. This series was divided into 3 collections.

The 1st collection I designed was the Side Patch Collection. Each cap includes a patch on the side that highlights a signature moment from Kobe’s storied career.
