I collaborated with Canadian paddle brand Dinko to design a limited-edition pickleball paddle that merges art, sport, and community. The concept draws from my connection to the Pacific Northwest — its mountains, evergreens, and shifting skies — translated into bold, simplified shapes that feel both modern and organic.

​

The challenge was transforming an expressive illustration style into a functional sports surface while keeping the artwork crisp, durable, and true to my visual language. I worked closely with the Dinko team to adapt the design for print and ensure it aligned with their brand identity, while still feeling distinctly artist-made.

The final paddle celebrates local creativity and active living — a collectible piece that blurs the line between performance gear and art object.
