2024 - 25 NBA Season

​

Design Director – Koji Matsumoto

​

I’ve led the visual direction for themed games and special celebrations, including our Bill Walton Tribute Night, which earned national recognition from the NBA and became one of the season’s standout moments. Through close collaboration with cross-functional teams and external vendors, I’ve brought these projects to life, earning recognition and appreciation from fans, internal teams, and season ticket holders. One of the most rewarding aspects of this role has been seeing fans and community members wearing the merchandise I’ve designed and witnessing their excitement and engagement with the work I help create. This experience has strengthened my ability to develop creative, impactful designs while offering me invaluable insight into the unique demands of professional sports marketing.
