    uniE613 The Starland Entertainment District
    Reimagining the Starland area as Savannah’s focal entertainment district and cultural hub Savannah, GA is a very popular little city, both for tourism and residential purposes, but for all its successes it has always lacked a central entertainment district, a place to promote and hold community events and promote local commerce. A professor tasked us with filling this gap and creating theoretical promotional material for whatever location we ended up choosing. View Here: https://www.twine.net/signin
    uniE613 Religion & Politics
    A print, web, and social campaign aimed at unblurring the lines between church and state. The world we live in suffers from many impossible problems, societal issues that cannot be fixed with something as simple as a wave of the hand or a single wealthy angel benefactor, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be making ourselves and our communities better places. Working in a group with classmates Dylan Gutierrez, Grace Marcy, Caitlin Scheib, and Sia Tyagi, we decided to create a social campaign discussing the dangers of politics and religion influencing one another.

    uniE613 AAMBC Internship
    African Americans on the Move Book Club (more commonly known as AAMBC), is a nonprofit organization working to promote and support black creatives within the writing industry. They host events such as their yearly AAMBC Awards show and Black Writers Weekend (BWW) and have a multitude of smaller groups that live underneath the AAMBC umbrella. I got the chance to work with this group virtually over the summer of 2022, and spent a good amount of my time making social media posts and templates, designing style guides and headers, and developing print collateral for the events happening over the ensuing months.
