Following the COVID-19 epidemic, the regional Restart the Arts Campaign has had three phases, one designed and placed by myself and my supervisor, and two phases completed in collaboration with Oyster Creative Co., one of which, the recipient of a Renaissance Award.

Pittsburgh's arts organizations needed funding to make their venues feel safe for returning audiences. I pitched and executed a social media campaign for the Pittsburgh Arts Council Audience Safety Fund inspired by the graphic boldness of UPA animation, a style that conveys guidance, warmth, and optimism.

The Allegheny Arts Revival Grant provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to local artists. I branded and designed all ad placements over the span of a few short weeks, to great success, ushering in over three hundred local applicants.
