NSBE
This case study highlights my experience designing clothing for the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), through thoughtful decisions. We created a refreshing, unique collection that boldly showcases a distinct style.
Breaking down the project
The design process was straightforward. After meeting with NSBE members, the goal was to create stylish, everyday-clothing that celebrate STEM and black culture while avoiding typical school colors like blue.
Collaborating with the team
Throughout the process, I collaborated closely with the NSBE team to ensure the designs met their vision, aligned with their brand identity, and captured the look they wanted.
Color exploration
I worked with members of the NSBE team on a color exploration phase, where we sat down and discussed various colorways they appreciated. They ultimately chose the bottom-right option, as they felt it had the right balance of contrast and vibrancy. Interestingly, it also unintentionally evokes fall and Halloween colors, adding an intriguing seasonal touch.
Outcome
The final design showcases a bold colorway with meaningful elements that represent NSBE as a unified community within STEM.
