AIGA DFW 2025-2026: Shirt Design Contest (Winner)

This apparel design was created for the Professional Association of Design as a visual celebration of multidisciplinary creativity and the design process. The composition brings together tools and symbols from across design disciplines like rulers, brushes, typography, and expressive mark-making. Each element is layered to reflect how structure, craft, and experimentation intersect in professional practice. Bold colors and overlapping forms represent collaboration, diversity of thought, and the dynamic nature of the design community. The energetic, almost collage-like arrangement mirrors the creative chaos that fuels innovation, while still maintaining balance and intentionality. Rooted in both education and expression, the design honors designers as thinkers, makers, and cultural contributors. This captures the spirit of the association and the city it represents - Dallas, TX.
