MLB Summer Internship

In New York City

In my summer internship with Major League Baseball, I had the opportunity to design over 40 digital content pieces. These included graphics for MLB events, sponsorship assets, and marketing campaign materials. The experience was very excited as I adapted to the fast-paced environment of the MLB organization. Focusing on producing high-quality visuals efficiently, was a high priority of mine, and I am proud to say I achieved this.

On this page, I will showcase my most memorable projects of the 45+ that I completed during my internship.

Asset, Template, and Content Creation

  • MLBTV Free Preview Content

    Crafting the visual announcement for MLBTV's Free Preview, I designed a sleek, adaptable template that captured the Arizona Diamondbacks' spirit across multiple digital platforms.

  • MLBTV Free Trial Content

    I shaped the promotional identity for the MLBTV Free Trial, engineering a template that merged the Arizona Diamondbacks' branding with the MLB's marketing needs, suitable for various digital sizes and dimensions.

  • MLB.com HSTO Assets (Flash.co)

    For the MLB.com and Flash.co partnership, I constructed web assets that balanced user interface with engaging graphics, optimizing visibility on both desktop and mobile platforms.

  • MLBTV Free Game of the Day Content

    I delivered a dynamic template for MLBTV's Free Game of the Day, ensuring the design was versatile for various digital formats.

  • Nike MLB Draft Assets

    Tasked with the MLB Draft's visual campaign, I created a series of Nike-branded assets, each meticulously formatted for over 21 unique digital specifications.

Editorial Design

In my editorial projects, I was tasked with turning topics into powerful images that draw people in. My designs are crafted to stand out, making sure they tell the story and get the message across simply and effectively. This part of my work highlights my ability to grab attention and communicate ideas through visual design.

MLB Draft Twitter Frame Template

For the MLB Draft, I crafted options for a Twitter template. It was set up for quick edits with spaces for team logos and player pictures. This design made sure anyone could change details fast and easy in a fast-paced setting.

I enjoyed this project because it allowed me to improve on my ability to design a dynamic template from scratch.
