BORN A SNEAKERHEAD
BORN A SNEAKERHEAD
Born a Sneakerhead invited Gen Z to find sneakers from their birth year on eBay. At The Many, I adapted the campaign’s commissioned artwork into year-by-year social posts and created its award submission website.


THE CAMPAIGN
THE CAMPAIGN
A birth year gave sneaker fans a personal way into eBay’s inventory. The campaign paired sneakers with sticker-style artwork inspired by the culture of each year. Three commissioned illustrators created the artwork, giving every year its own personality within a shared visual direction.

YEAR-BY-YEAR SOCIAL DESIGN
YEAR-BY-YEAR SOCIAL DESIGN
I formatted the social posts for every year, bringing together sneaker imagery, year typography, and commissioned illustrations. Each layout needed to give the shoe and year a clear place within a dense mix of artwork. Across the series, I worked within the campaign’s established visual direction to keep the posts consistent while preserving each year’s character.

AWARD SUBMISSION WEBSITE
I also created the website used to present Born a Sneakerhead for award submissions. It brought the campaign idea and its execution into one story, giving reviewers context for the social posts and the wider rollout.
