Nike Ava

Client: Nike
Studio: JoyCgi (opens in a new tab)
Role: 3D Generalist
Year: 2026

I worked with creative studio JoyCgi (opens in a new tab) on a series of still shots and animated videos for the 2026 refresh of Nike’s Ava footwear line. I was responsible for modelling the Ava Edge, one of two hero shoes featured, as well as providing texturing assistance across both shoes. Modelling of the second shoe, the Ava X Mesh, was led by Scott Denton (opens in a new tab), while Edwina Joel (opens in a new tab) led shader work with support from the wider JoyCgi team.
