The Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture awards dinner event took place at Cipriani 42nd street in New York City. I designed the look of the communications for the event, including the invitations, programs, and the print and digital ads announcing the event.

The evening honored Anonymous was a woman, Susan Unterberg / Governors’ Award for Service to Artists, Francesco Clemente / Skowhegan Medal for Painting, Paula & Peter Lunder / Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Award for Outstanding Patronage of the Arts and Lorraine O’Grady / Skowhegan Medal for Conceptual and Cross-Disciplinary Practices. The event was followed by an after-party at which the musician Masego performed. During the night a record-breaking over $1 million was raised to support the future of artmaking at Skowhegan.

As part of the brand’s regional summit for Stella Artois, I designed vinyls, marketing printed collaterals and stand up banners for the activation event.

With over 10,000 volunteers, God’s Love We Deliver prepares, packages and delivers 1.7M meals annually to New Yorkers living with severe illness. I helped to create the first campaign for The Legacy Society membership program, for whom has chosen to support God’s Love work by including God’s Love itself in their estate plans. Planned gifts, including bequests, create an extraordinary opportunity to provide the much-needed resources that will enable God’s Love to help the seriously ill today and well into the future.

Seven world renowned artists are participating in an unprecedented Peanuts Global Artist Collective where the artists are interpreting the work of Charles M. Schulz both on merchandise and in public art offerings. In phase one of this project, Peanuts inspired murals will pepper the world, giving the gift of art to everyone.

In the historic streets of the Hudson Square District several oversize hand-painted artist murals have been created on the way to the vibrant Children's Museum of the Arts. For the mural rollout, I designed a mini-map for attendees, plus stickers showcasing the diversity and complexity of the artworks.

Peanuts has a long history of collaboration with the fashion world. 2014 marked 30 years of Snoopy in Fashion, an ongoing collaboration between Peanuts and some of the biggest names in fashion. As part of the 30th anniversary of Snoopy in Fashion, now renamed Snoopy & Belle in Fashion, Peanuts reached out again to illicit some fashion superstars to create all-new looks for Snoopy and his sister Belle. Snoopy and Belle got the star treatment from the celebrities of the fashion world, including Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, DSquared2, J. Mendel, and Opening Ceremony.

As part of the SBIF U.S. Tour I designed an app to act as a guide through the exhibition and provide visitors with exclusive information about the dolls, DJ mixes, merchandise locators and more. A key part of the SBIF initiative is the social media component, with over 250 million media hits to-date. A photo booth feature is integral to the app, allowing users to snap and share location-branded selfies showcasing their favorite beagles with both speed and style. Download the App at the Apple App store or on Google Play.
