NIKE X JD SPORTS: NEED IT NOW

Role: Art Director


For this launch, we partnered with Nike and JD Sports to ignite excitement around the Nike Women’s Spring collection. Our mission was to connect with a digitally native, style-first audience aged 15–25. We made "Need It Now" feel urgent, personal, and compelling, positioning the collection as a toolkit for individual expression that blends sport roots with street style.

On set, I directed a clean, minimal approach so the talent and product stayed at the forefront. Using the studio cyc wall, we captured both hero statics and motion assets that highlighted key pieces in a dynamic, eye-catching way. Jalaiah and Charlize brought energy and personality to the looks, showcasing the versatility of the collection through movement and presence.

PHOTO AND VIDEO PRODUCTION

I helped bring in current visual trends by developing a 360° “Choose Your Player”-style format that gave audiences a full view of each look and invited them to “Choose Your Style.” This approach not only boosted engagement but also showcased the collection’s range and versatility.

ORGANIC + PAID SOCIAL

I directed social-first content like “Week of Wear,” showcasing multiple looks and detailed product shots for short-form ads. For JD-specific posts, I emphasized the “Style in Motion” ethos and guided creative to drive both engagement and purchase, with talent resharing to expand reach.

RETAIL

We brought the campaign into retail through large-scale placements in Chicago, New Jersey’s American Dream Mall, New York’s Times Square window display, and across 2,200 JD Sports stores nationwide. I contributed to the creative direction of these immersive in-store displays, which featured custom backdrops, pedestal and platform wraps, and floor graphics that carried the campaign’s energy into the retail environment.

APP + EMAIL

I worked with my copywriter to adapt the campaign for Nike’s app and email, pairing key products with each talent’s style and highlighting benefits like comfort, movement, and versatility.
