JD Sports North American Brand Image
JD Sports entered a saturated U.S. market where visual identity lacked relevance and failed to distinguish the brand culturally. The business needed a system that could elevate brand perception and unlock growth across retail, social, and experiential touchpoints. I led creative strategy, direction and cross functional team execution to deliver a connected brand in North America that was adopted across brand platforms and product categories, guided seasonal retail and digital graphics and established consistency across channels.

Global recognition didn’t guarantee U.S. relevance. In a crowded market, the brand needed a flexible system to stay culturally credible across retail, digital, and content.
The U.S. audience responds to global trends, not brand noise. Connecting global influence to local style builds credibility, making the brand feel part of culture, not on top.
The direction amplified global connection and context, creating a visual language designed to move naturally with global culture.
Refined to live within global trend, photography drew from emerging styling in sport, music and fashion merged with clean, flexible graphics built to scale across environments.
The design systems and brand standards ensured consistency, clear image and strengthened U.S. brand recognition.


This scalable brand platform was built for growth, not moments. It was purposefully designed to evolve with both culture and business needs.
