PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Vans® Summer Camp Nostalgia collection reinterprets the carefree spirit of 1970s summer camps, blending vintage scouting aesthetics with modern footwear design. As a Color and Material Designer, I crafted a warm, nature-inspired palette, playful vector patterns, and nostalgic patches that celebrate outdoor exploration and camaraderie. The collection balances heritage with comfort, evoking golden sunsets, earthy trails, and the joy of adventure.
