Major <br>League<br> Soccer

With Major League Soccer, I was digital and print visual designer for the 2017-2019 seasons. My “goal?” Taking media from all corners of the organization “talk“ to each other cohesively through style, messaging and balance to consistently evolve and elevate the MLS brand. Across all platforms, everything needed to be congruent and consistent to standards. Structured to build each season to a crescendo, the “Our Soccer/Nuestro Soccer” campaign was the new driving force for the 2018-2019 seasons. With many departments contributing to the multifaceted parts of the campaign, there might be a print asset from one department, video footage held by another team, social assets in development by the social team and so on. It was down to me to work with marketing to implement one or all of those pieces into a concise, clean, animated and marketable digital asset. Many designers at MLS used at most two to three of applications from the Adobe Creative Suite per day—in my position I ran the entire gambit from Illustrator to After Effects. LED In-Game perimeter boards. Environmental graphics and stadium dressing. Animated screens for a takeover of a hosting city’s paid media in airports, streets and subways. One day was never like the other.
