About me ->
I led the creative and art direction for the Ridgewood Commons rebrand, an emerging community hub in Queens offering free resources, tutoring, fitness classes, meals, and events to Ridgewood and the surrounding neighborhoods. My role was to identify how a unified brand identity could support the space’s growth, visibility, and community engagement.
I developed a visual system that balanced RC’s edge and irreverence with its commitment to inclusivity and vibrant social connection. To support the organization’s volunteer-driven structure, every component, from templates to the use of open-source typography, was designed to be fully plug-and-play, ensuring the brand could be easily maintained without a full-time designer. Launch later in 2026.
