SERENA WILLIAMS DESIGN CREW

Color Design: Apparel

In 2019, Serena Williams and Nike teamed up for a first of-it’s-kind partnership. Under William’s leadership, Nike selected 10 emerging designers from underrepresented backgrounds to work on a new, Serena Williams inspired and approved collection from Nike’s Beaverton, Oregon, headquarters. While in the Nike flagship soho store as a part time visual merchandiser, I applied and made it to the top 40 for a design combine, then I was picked to be one of the 10. We were given and unprecendented 8 months to design and craft a perfect collection of Serena-ready garments. I was the apparel color designer, applying an inclusive color palette to both sportswear and performance apparel.
