Behind the Design: Hailie Deegan’s Custom Helmet with Troy Lee Designs

When it comes to custom-painted helmets, few projects are as thrilling as working with the Deegan family. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Troy Lee Designs to create unique, eye-catching designs for every member of this talented family: Brian, Hailie, Haiden, and Hudson. Each project brings its own set of challenges and creative opportunities, and Hailie’s latest helmet was no exception.

This particular helmet marked the fourth or fifth custom piece I’ve crafted for Hailie. She’s a racer who knows what she wants, and her input makes the design process both rewarding and fun. For this project, she gave her dad and me a clear vision: camo patterns, bold colors, and a layout that matched her signature style. It’s this combination of specificity and creative freedom that makes Hailie one of my favorite collaborators.

The Creative Process: Camo and Colors

When Hailie described her vision, I knew it was going to be something special. She wanted a camo design that wasn’t just your standard green and brown but something vibrant and unique. We settled on a modern color palette that gave a nod to her fierce personality while staying true to her racing roots.

The challenge was to balance the bold camo elements with the sleek aerodynamic look that Troy Lee Designs is known for. From the base layers to the finishing touches, every detail was designed to reflect Hailie’s competitive spirit and the energy she brings to the track.

Collaboration with Troy Lee Designs

Working with Troy Lee Designs always adds an extra layer of excitement to the process. Their reputation for blending art with performance makes every project feel like a masterpiece in the making. Having designed helmets for countless celebrities and athletes, it’s always refreshing to work with someone like Hailie, who strikes the perfect balance between offering direction and trusting the creative process.

Troy and his team have a knack for bringing out the best in every artist they work with, and this project was no different. Together, we were able to bring Hailie’s vision to life while staying true to the signature Troy Lee aesthetic.

Why Hailie Stands Out

One of the reasons I love working with Hailie is her openness to creativity. While she gives clear guidelines on what she wants, she leaves the finer details up to me. This trust allows me to experiment and push the boundaries of helmet design, resulting in pieces that stand out on and off the track.

Her personality shines through in every helmet we’ve collaborated on, and this latest design is a testament to her individuality. It’s bold, it’s dynamic, and it’s unmistakably Hailie.

The Finished Product

The final helmet is a blend of camo, vibrant colors, and a layout that screams speed and power. It’s not just a piece of safety equipment; it’s a statement. Whether Hailie is tearing up the track or posing for photos, this helmet is a reflection of her fearless attitude and her love for the sport.

Every time I see one of my designs in action, it’s a reminder of why I love what I do. Seeing Hailie wear this helmet with pride is the ultimate reward.

Conclusion: A True Collaboration

Creating custom helmets for the Deegan family has been an incredible journey, and Hailie’s latest design is one of my favorite projects to date. The combination of her vision, Troy Lee Designs’ expertise, and my passion for pushing creative boundaries resulted in a helmet that’s as unique as the racer wearing it.

For me, these projects aren’t just about the final product—they’re about the collaboration, the creativity, and the chance to bring an athlete’s personality to life in a way that’s both functional and artistic. Hailie Deegan’s helmet is a perfect example of what happens when all those elements come together.

Stay tuned—there’s always more to come when the Deegans and Troy Lee Designs are involved!
