Healy Awards
Nov 2012 - Present (12 years)
Healy Awards makes The Nations Toughest Football Helmet Decals, Plaques, Signs, Boards, and much more. Since joining the Healy team I have enjoyed designing some really cool projects including chrome half helmet concepts, Lacrosse helmet full graphic wraps and team store apparel.
Working with primarily Semi-Pro sports teams, major universities and high schools nationally has been very rewarding. I have been privileged to have designed work for BigTen universities and countless Division 1 NCAA collegiate athletic programs.
There's an enormous sense of pride knowing that virtually any time I can flip on the tv and catch a game and see something that I worked on.
