UT Birthday Trophy

Created for a special celebration at the University of Texas football stadium, this custom Longhorn-inspired trophy was a memorable project I contributed to during my time at Smash Designs. Designed to celebrate Texas pride and the spirit of Longhorn Nation, the piece combined structural fabrication with sculptural craftsmanship to create a one-of-a-kind presentation piece.

My role included welding, fabrication, and sculptural development throughout the build. From constructing the internal structure to helping shape the finished form, I had the opportunity to work through multiple stages of the fabrication process and contribute to bringing the trophy to life.

Seeing the completed piece displayed in such an iconic Texas setting made this project especially rewarding. It remains one of the more unique custom commissions I had the opportunity to help create while working at Smash Designs.
