Nike Forward:

Less Carbon.
No Water.
One Planet.

Nike Forward is the latest advancement in over 30 years of sustainability-minded innovations, joining the ranks of Nike Air, Flyknit, Flyleather, Space Hippie and Next Nature.

Together with the internal team at Nike I am proud to have contributed an essential piece in the branding of “Forward” through its name and language; positioning it as an innovation platform.

With an average of 75% reduction in the carbon footprint for this first generation material, alongside zero water usage, Nike Forward aims to “accelerate a culture of innovation at Nike to help protect the planet and the future of sport” as said by Janett Nichol, VP Apparel Innovation, NIKE,Inc.

About



For a decade I have tried to help brands, artists and agencies  resonate within the evershifting cultural currents that make up our contemporary lives. As the mediated landscapes shift by the second, it’s often not enough to inflitrate the chatter: instead one has to define the conversation.

This is what I’ve aspired to do ever since joining Droga5 NY, in 2012, and continue to do so today in a freelance capacity with every project I take on; whether in service of studios, agencies, brands, products, musicians, film labels, fashion houses or otherwise.

As a Creative Director I am always creating in collaboration, with the written word as my executionary skill—while also sometimes operating as brand strategist, copywriter, researcher or art director.
