In early 2023, I had the privilege to help design and render the new NCAA official beach volleyball. Molten was planning to pitch a new volleyball design to the NCAA, so between myself and Creative Director Marco Rodriguez we created several designs with experimental looks and patterns. Drawing inspiration from the most recent Wilson Volleyball, we attempted to use the corners of the volleyball panel faces to create triangular patterns, which resulted in this tri-fold flame flower design that was used for final production. The official NCAA ball is now available on shelves and being used in official NCAA Tournaments starting Summer of 2025.
