One of my favorite things to do is help family members with the different things I have learned within design and hand processes. My nephew competes on a team in robotics competitions and when they reached out to me to design a logo for them, I was ecstatic! While there were a couple iterations of the logo and “robotic” man, they ended up with some great looking branding and I got to practice my skills in building out branding materials. Those materials included t-shirts, banners, a booth design for the world competition, and freebies for the team to give to other teams.
In 2019, the team qualified for worlds and had the opportunity to go to Kentucky and compete with hundreds of teams from around the world. While there, they had a team booth. I helped create the vision for this booth and came up with promotional items for them to give out. These items included decals and laser cut/engraved zipper-pull pieces that incorporated the look of a VEX piece as well as resembling the state of Utah—where the team calls home.
