of the USA
For more than ten years I served as the primary design consultant to UNA-USA — the nation's largest grassroots foreign policy organization. Working with a core group of senior staff, department heads and managers — I provided cost-effective solutions ranging from brochures to book-length studies; advertising and sales materials; conference and special events materials; annual reports; and the visual identities and collateral material for its special programs: Adopt-A-Minefield and Model U.N.
Model U.N.
This branding program creates visual recognition for this highly respected educational program. The campaign has been very successful in effectively reaching today's youth.
GE, Kidder Peabody
This flexible program was developed to raise investment capital for 'project-properties' across the nation. One prospectus helped to raise the capital for the renovation of the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan.
Recipient of Printing Industries design and print award for it's success.
MetLife Insurance
For eight years I supplied creative solutions to the Communications, Compliance, Human Resources, and other departments at MetLife's New York headquarters. From newsletters to corporate reports — these products effectively spoke to MetLife's many audiences.
Accepted MetLife's own 'Outstanding Vendor Award' for the body of accomplishments.
United Nations
Development Programme
The 2008 UNDP Annual Report examines the year's challenges and successes in five languges. With its presence in 166 developing countries around the globe, the task is monumental.
UNDP Maldives
The 2004 tsunami stripped the 1,200-island nation of the Maldives its ability to sustain its people. Support from the United Nations (UNDP) and its highly successful Adopt-An-Island Campaign provided the short- and long-term assistance required to revive the economy and rebuild. Marketing kits, brochures, reports and eNewsletters helped to keep donors and the international community informed.
A UNDP Maldives brochure received a Graphic Design: USA award.
New York Telephone
Clean and sober employees are a most valuable resource. New York Telephone initiated this anti-drug campaign to extend a 'lifeline' to its employees in 1991.
The message was a sobering success.
