Business Card The retractable banners reflecting the agency’s guiding principles were created using Adobe Illustrator. The table cover was created using Adobe PhotoShop. The business card design (set to go public in January 2017) was created in Adobe InDesign, featuring elements from PhotoShop and Illustrator.

The Brighter Days logo was created in Adobe Illustrator for a program that provides furniture to homeless individuals who have recently obtained housing. The Point-in-Time logo was created using Adobe Illustrator and is pictured on the reflective vest worn by volunteers. The website was designed using all three platforms and WIX in June of 2016. 8
Commissioned to design a billboard in 2015 for their domestic violence awareness campaign. Two designs were submitted to the client for consideration.
Using Adobe Illustrator, these billboard designs were created for display on digital billboards during domestic violence awareness month. Because of the illuminated effect of the digital billboard, the client decided to go with the darker image (option 1). Calls from women who had never disclosed their abuse doubled as a result of this promotion.

Annual Event Summary Report For 2016, the primary color for the event was changed to purple with a hint of lime green. The highlight for those who attended was the “sea of purple” and it is still talked about to this day. The shirt design was created using Adobe Illustrator. The lip balm label was created using both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe PhotoShop. The event overview and summary report were created using Adobe InDesign, with elements that were created using the other Adobe platforms respectively.
The first experience as Event Coordinator came with the challenge of rebranding the event - to include design of the stage banner/backdrop, Volunteer & Team Leader shirts, rack cards for event information, and production of the event’s promotional video.

Event Announcement 12
The “We Offer Hope” video helped to shed light on the organization and its commitment to ending homelessness in Memphis and Shelby County. The production of this video included heavy involvement with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Sony Movie Studio 13.0. Not pictured is the sponsor video, which was also produced using the three platforms mentioned above. This video ran for the duration of the event to display the logos of the event’s sponsors, announcements of upcoming service opportunities in Memphis, and ways to find out more on how to further engage in the organization’s efforts to end homelessness.

Family stability is critical to individuals and the community for numerous reasons. For some families, a seemingly minor event can force them to move in with friends or relatives, live in a hotel, seek refuge in shelters or even live in their cars. Children in these families face the risks of increased school mobility, decreased school attendance and diminished school performance. The intentional goal of this initiative is to increase stability and reduce student mobility through outreach and case management services.

Discount Movers operates out of Memphis, TN and Atlanta, GA. This job required retouching the existing logo, creation of 4x6 promo cards, and designing contracts and other forms. Try Moving for Less!
DISCOUNT MOVERS
Initially, the idea was to use a different name for the Atlanta location. By the time the 4x6 card was produced, the client decided that it would be best to use the same business name for both locations.

Logo - Including Color & Name Revision
The name was changed to Corinthian Hope House after the initial logo was developed. The logo was changed to reflect that in Adobe Illustrator. The WIX website was designed using multiple design platforms, and the bio was done in Photoshop and released to the client as a pdf for her use. This relationship also included creative direction of the 4x6 promo for the agency’s recent launch event.
