Cleveland Cavaliers Classic Edition Merchandise, 2025-26 For the 2025-26 NBA season, @cavs had the honor of bringing back the iconic navy 2005-2010 alternate jersey kit to celebrate the teams 55th season Through my internship last summer, I had the opportunity to play with these classic logos and colors to create touchpoints for Cavs fans throughout this season. This included a Cavs United scarf given away at the Cavs United Tip-off event, allowing fans to stay warm with the then upcoming Cleveland winter. Along with the scarves, Classic Edition pickleball paddles were designed for Pickleball Night ticket bundles available at all 9 Classic Edition home games. such an awesome project to hop on! being able to work with colors and logos that hold rich legacy and nostalgia, and applying them to brand new items is something i would've never expected to do :') so blessed! 🤞🏻🤍 #LetEmKnow

Field Notes from the Threads of America, 2026 video collage of some behind the scenes footage from my BFA Thesis project. so much more research + labor went into this project that isn't shown, unfortunately i had no thought of documenting it in the moment 🗜️ so much love, Blake #ohio #shortfilm #americanafashion #folkart

Field Notes from the Threads of America (FNftToA), 2026 now featured in the 2026 BFA Senior Thesis Exhibition @ BGSU. FNftToA is an avenue to pull and display the complexities, intricacies, collectiveness and diversity of the modern American experience through clothing decoration. FNftToA starts by hearing stories from American individuals from different states, territories, races, sexualities, and areas of expertise through form submissions and conversations. After gathering this visual and textual information, it has been carefully curated and decorated into second-hand American-made work wear garments. This included hand-painting, pin buttons, collage, sewing, and dyeing of the clothing. These pieces are displayed fixed onto scarecrow-esque structures in the Wankelman Gallery @ BGSU Fine Arts Center. When all of these stories and experiences are woven, collaged, and placed onto the same garments, what narrative does it guide for the diversity and evolution of American life? I've not only found love in creating these pieces, but also in reading and studying your submissions. I appreciate you all for sharing, and trusting me with your stories and images— it's been beautiful handling them the past few months 💜🫂 From San Juan, Puerto Rico to Archbold, Ohio to Hermiston, Oregon it's been an incredible experience for me— i hope you feel similarly. if you'd still like to participate, the submission form is linked in my bio. I'd love to hear from all of you, as the project deepens with every individual 😌 There's so many people to thank: my family for the support, specifically my dad for helping with the structures, support, jenn stucker (@jennstucker ) my thesis mentor, my CURS Research Grant for facilitating & funding, the entire @bgsugd faculty for the support over the years, my friends, and of course all of the participants and visitors of FNftToA 💜 i really love doing this, and i feel very full being allowed & encouraged to express my roots in a way that feels right, and true to the future🤞🏻🚜FNftToA Short Film coming soon ofcourse 🎥

Cleveland Cavaliers City Edition Merch, 2026 Cream hoodie graphic drawn & designed by me. Available @ Center Court in Rocket Arena, in collaboration with @foundsurface & @clevemetroparks 🧡🫡🌳 last summer, as i interned as a designer for the @cavs , i had the amazing opportunity to design a few merch graphics for the then upcoming city edition campaign! This design features a stacked hand-drawn illustration of a day in Cleveland: Sunshine, Lake Erie, & Hoops 😌 Lots of exploration and play went into creating this graphic & the others in the vault! incredible efforts went into these pieces to be fabricated with fully traceable manufacturing & waste control (first in the NBA???👀) through Cleveland's @foundsurface 😊🏀 so blessed to see this design on them! shoutout everyone involved ☝🏻 PHOTOS // Cleveland Cavaliers, Found Surface, Spectrum News 1

Cleveland Cavaliers Summer League (2025) Social media campaign by me @cavs   Since day 1 at the Cavs I had the pleasure of developing & designing the campaign for our NBA Summer League in Las Vegas! With the opportunity to step outside the usual look and feel, I sought out to establish a system that referenced antique Las Vegas and 90s basketball cards all while retaining the DNA of the Cavaliers.   This campaign included posts to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, featuring all the needed updates to keep fans engaged and informed throughout the 9 day event. Through Instagram, the campaign brought in over 50,000 likes and 800 comments. (shoutout oTterBP for the kind comment on twitter, ykb)   Inside of the social media posts, I also developed the Cavs Summer League 2025 logo where it would often live as a bug or branding stamp. This logo was inspired by the iconic motifs of Las Vegas and common typography seen in postcards.   Extremely grateful to be here and experiment in the process with the design team! Special shoutout to @baileymincer for the animation tutorials 🫡   So blessed. Can’t wait to show y’all more of my work this summer! #LetEmKnow ⚔️🤞🏻
