The creation of ReFashionshow's brand board includes new colors, logo, and photography, including AI imagery. The process began with the moddboards shown below. You can see more about the process by watching the links included below. ReFashion Show is an event/fashion suburbanization under a larger organization called Trash to Treasure Movement.
While on the ReFashionshow project, I rose from Graphic Designer for social media to Brand Designer to Strategic Event Advisor over 6 weeks. The project incorporated the creation of many branded elements for the show, from signs to name tags and monitor displays, social media posts and reels, and a website overhaul. The project was so successful that it has expanded again to now include a rebrand for the overarching Organization (Trash To Treasure Movement). and my strategic role has also expanded to address the future of the Trash To Treasure Movement.).

BLACK HERITAGE MUSEUM OF ARLINGTON
Strategic consulting and pattern design
Museum consulting services began with an assessment of the current museum. Then I addressed missing foundational graphic assets, adding creative, branded merchandise, designing room flow, and suggesting physical exhibition design elements, educational programs, and funding opportunities. The overall primary needs for the museum hinged on creating community awareness and legitimacy; therefore beginning this project by designing a suite of branding elements was essential.
LOLA'S LAB

Lola's Lab produced immersive, live-action, story-based events for many years and was moving from a live model to an online experience. This site design mocked up a web-based portal where kids could sign in, follow the episodes, download projects and share them in a creative community. Designs for Lola's Lab featured my photography, illustration, graphics and costume design.

Festi-belle
Event Activity & Gift Graphics

Logo Development
Festi-belle was a Bat Mitzva event with a maker vibe. Simple and pretty, custom abstract background paired with fonts that worked together to achieve a strong, active, and personal feeling. SMILE ON is a clever little pun for the way the guest should feel remembering the Festi-belle event and the function of applying lip balm.
The Button Graphics were signs at an activity station at the event. The same abstract yellow art was used throughout the wayfinding and other graphics at the event as well. I was the creative director of the entire event as well. Inquire more about this event to receive a PDF "magazine" of the whole project.
SHERRI SOSSLAU
Music Streaming Website
Sherri Sosslau is the actual name of the incomparable DJ Hot Sauce, who spins her eclectic playlists on WAMU once a week. With this simple site, I leveraged her prior assets to allow her fans to stream her music all day, any day they want. I also created a new logo which connects to her work and the collage illustration by Ipek Younger.
