In a year where the world shrank to the size of our homes, we worked with Delta and Coca-Cola to help people connect again. We encouraged people to broaden their horizons and let in holiday traditions from all around the world. We featured 9 different holiday traditions representing the 9 months of lockdown in 2020. Everyone who joined in to celebrate was given a chance to reconnect with someone they care about by winning tickets to travel with them to 1 of those 9 destinations, for when it’s safe to travel again.

This campaign lived primarily on Instagram where we created the instagram account @holidayhorizons that highlighted 9 different traditions with discovery and instructional videos, our favorite submissions, and of course, our winners. I worked on developing the identity framework for the campaign, worked with our partners to implement the look and feel across all touch points, designed animated and static social posts, as well as social ads.

Google celebrated Safer Internet Day by opening up its doors and hosting online safety workshops for families at the Grow with Google NYC Learning Center. These workshops aim to teach families all about the fundamentals of digital safety and citizenship through Google’s Kids & Families products. We created a magical hands on experience at the GwG Learning Center outside of the classrooms so families can learn about online safety while waiting for their workshop to begin or after they’ve attended.

The pandemic had a huge adverse effect on the restaurant industry. We worked with Seamless and The Infatuation to support restaurants not just by delivering New Yorkers their favorite food, but their favorite restaurants, right to their doorstep. 

We created Presto! Resto!, a glass truck with interiors mimicking original restaurants, allowing guests to experience the feeling of dining indoors at their favorite restaurants safely again. The exterior of the truck was designed to look like a classic New York brick facade, complimenting the interiors, no matter the restaurant. The exterior graphics also served as a travelling billboard, promoting the brand and restaurants as it made it’s way through the city.

During a year marked by distance, we worked with lululemon to show up for the LGBTQ+ community during Pride, redefining the idea of what it means to be present for one another. This year's campaign lived largely online, utilizing lululemon's IGTV to feature stories of lululemon's employees. To support those stories, we created a brand identity for the campaign that was utlized across various lululemon IG accounts across the world, as well as visual drivers for various social platforms to drive traffic to lululemon’s IGTV.

The visual language embraces reality and imperfection by using organic brushstrokes that tie each piece together, speaking to the realities of what the year it has been. Going beyond just recognizing the colors of the flag, the gradients of color hope to represent all, being proud and present for one another.
