Nike Manufacturing System Global Mandate - Nike WHQ
Transforming data into meaningful engagement
Let’s face it, when a presenter points to a pie chart buried in a spreadsheet, even the most seasoned analyst starts checking their watch. For Nike’s NMS team, landing their message meant transforming complex manufacturing data into something impossible to ignore.
Turn a passive audience into active decision-makers
A polished Keynote slide is easy to forget, but creating an interactive experience leads to lasting impact. Driving buy-in for the NMS Team’s initiative meant designing for participation, not just presentation.
Physical interaction builds stronger connection
Using Arduino and a TouchDesigner network linked to live data tables, custom-designed rotary dials let users manipulate key labor variables in real time and turned abstract metrics into digestible production outcomes.
Tactile touchpoints created a clear call to action for the audience and encouraged self-guided interaction with the data.
Ground data in something tangible
A physical production timeline of the Air Force 1 turned complex datasets into an interactive journey. Each touchpoint revealed where strategic optimizations could reshape Nike’s global manufacturing process.
TL;DR
My design transformed complex manufacturing data into a hands-on interaction that allowed Nike leadership to experience the impact of labor optimizations across their global supply chain. The result was a compelling presentation that secured $7M in investment and set a new standard for internal engagement.
