Washington Spirit Set Design | Production Design
For the Washington Spirit Media Day 2026, I designed a photo station inspired by the team’s journey to Audi Field. The concept reimagines a subway stop along the players’ route to the stadium, translating the energy of match day into an abstract, deconstructed environment. Developed the concept, produced set design, technical drawings and presentation design, and coordinated with fabrication vendors to guide production and ensure the set was built according to the design intent.
The installation drew from the visual language of underground transit systems, using fragmented architectural elements, layered signage, and graphic textures to suggest the atmosphere of a subway platform without recreating it literally. Structural elements were broken apart and reassembled into a dynamic composition that framed the players while creating depth for photography.
