Visual Design
2025
The Las Vegas Kendama Open is one of the largest kendama competitions in the U.S., hosted annually by Brett Austin Walters and me. I’ve led the event’s branding since 2023. For this year’s identity, I drew from vintage Western design and typography rooted in early Las Vegas history. The core motif for this year’s branding—a poker chip—appears across both visual and functional elements.
Project deliverables include brand identity, print promotional posters, digital assets including countdown timers and tournament brackets, social media graphics, and an original kendama tama design. The Las Vegas Kendama Open tama was designed in collaboration with Eric Wöss of Originz Kendama.
