DSGN Unfiltered
Thank you, Chicago!
Last month, I had the opportunity to represent Olberding Brand Family and participate in DSGN Unfiltered, with over 80 brilliant creatives.
As Candace stated it - "Designers, founders, strategists, and creative leaders gathered for an evening of candid conversation about the pressures of creating in an industry that's changing faster than ever."The event was created by Candace Solola and Rotimi Solola, and was hosted by Design B&B. This was my first DSGN Unfiltered, and it was truly an amazing experience.
The thought provoking questions really pushed the conversations. The reactions and opinions were all well thought out - and you could feel how much our industry loves and cares about what they do.
It was an honor to share the stage (or couch, as it were) with such talented and amazing creatives: Valerie Aurilio Sabrina Katz Denny Liu Malia Joellenbeck
Also, huge shout out to my Olberding Brand Family teammates for attending: Gumaro Gonzalez and Alyson Kayne. Looking forward to growing the team in Chicago with ya!

Portrait of a Soul
Bringing visibility to the disability community through art.
Is there a more noble mission, especially if you are an artist?
When Brent Naughton asked me to redesign the visual identity for Portrait of a Soul, it was a pretty easy "Heck yes!"
Portrait of a Soul connects children and adults with disabilities with local artists to collaboratively create portraits that reflect identity, story and self-expression. Through this creative partnership, we expand representation and champion disability inclusion. Their partnership with Cincinnati Children's connects children and adults with artists to tell these stories.
The Portrait of a Soul vision is this:
A world where individuals with disabilities are represented with dignity, agency and authenticity so that every person is seen and valued on their own terms.
Every person to truly be SEEN. I love that! The identity was created with that in mind.
Thank you so much, Brent Naughton and Michelle Blades for the opportunity to work with you on your rebrand. You will forever have an advocate for your organization and your mission.
On behalf of myself, and any of my teammates at Olberding Brand Family - we see you!
