This gallery features video projects in which I was a co-producer, interviewee, provided graphic assets, or all three!

The Room to Grow Campaign is raising funds to renovate the Alfred C. Priestley Junior high school building, the gymnasium and add a digital media center for the Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans. This campaign includes 14 pieces of printed collateral; one of which is the case for support tabbed, an 8 page document. It also includes digital campaign comprised of social media posts and 2 web pages to ramp up donations. To date, the campaign has raised just over a quarter of their goal.

GiveNOLA Day is a 24-hour event hosted by the Greater New Orleans Foundation to inspire people to give generously to nonprofits making our region stronger, creating a thriving community for all. Featured here are collateral from the past two years of GiveNOLA Day, one year the focus was geared towards the ‘Thinking Outside the Classroom’ program, and the next towards the ‘Room to Grow’ capital campaign.

The 2018 - 2019 annual fundraiser for Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans, ‘Nuit de la Musique’, was a Southern Gothic theme featuring magnolias, trumpets and swamp imagery; everything old-school New Orleans. I was invited to share details of the event in an interview before the event.

Thinking Outside the Classroom (TOC), established in 2013, is a creative way to educate students through hands-on learning in authentic venues throughout New Orleans. Students spend between one and four weeks in a Thinking Outside the Classroom module. I created a recognizable logo and color scheme to differentiate TOC from the school’s other programs, organizations, and events. The real stars however are the students!

The 2017 - 2018 annual fundraising event, ‘L’Extravagance’, was an Art Deco inspired theme. The event was the second highest-grossing annual fundraiser since it’s conception in 2013.

Say Oui is a campaign dedicated to restoring foreign language education to North Louisiana. The need for Say Oui became apparent upon learning that there are no foreign language classes in Lincoln parish public schools, grades K - 8th. It is scientifically proven and documented that it is easier to learn a second language at a young age because of the brain’s ability to process and retain the distinct sounds that make up another language. When students learn a foreign language new and exciting opportunities appear on the horizon, from scholarships, to studying abroad, and employment advantages. Secondary language abilities help students succeed in our increasingly competitive and global economy; it’s time to bring back language education!

I created the new logo for Louisiana Tech University’s School of Design program. The mark is versatile, allowing for different programs to use textures that describe their individual programs. To see it in action just visit http://design.latech.edu. 

The goal of the 2015 Sustain conference, is to discuss sustainable, adaptive-reuse practices of historic architecture.  Adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an old building for a purpose other than which it was built. The design melds the old and new structures by picturing them in black and white, paired with simple geometric structures to complement the buildings and ethos of the conference.

The restaurant Cotton is steeped in a rich history, from the origins of the cuisine and the building, to the location in the Mississippi Delta. The concept, cultivating process, stands firmly on the foundations of the past, providing a solid base with the freedom to grow and evolve for the enjoyment of future generations. To cultivate means “to foster growth”, whether that is vegetables, friends, or ideas, each takes time, attention, and dedication. To cultivate process is to nurture and relish in the in-between; the transformation; the hard part that becomes a soulful, elegant expression.

Included here are a few of my favorite moments from The Platypus and the Egg. The story recounts the adventure of a platypus who in search of dinner, encounters many obstacles that prevent her returning to the nest. The story is written in iambic pentameter and playfully illustrated. The author and illustrator are actively seeking publishers.
