Miami 5k Race Series Branding & Event Visual Identity
Organization: Multiple Miami-based race organizations
Role: Freelance Creative & Brand Designer
Timeline: Ongoing seasonal event campaigns
The Goal
Develop cohesive, high-impact visual identities for local 5k race events that drive registrations, strengthen brand recognition, and create memorable participant experiences across digital and physical touch points.
The Challenge
Each race required a distinct visual concept that felt energetic, community-driven, and scalable across marketing materials and race-day assets. Designs needed to resonate with diverse audiences while remaining practical for production - from digital promotion to medals, shirts, bibs, and signage.

Built scalable visual systems adaptable to digital and print applications
Balanced bold, high-energy design with clarity and legibility for production
