EVENT PLANNING, CREATIVE DIRECTION + BRANDING
PERSONAL BEST began as a small weekly ladies’ night at HiTops Los Feliz and grew into a packed monthly club, becoming a staple for LA’s sapphic community. I developed and executed the event’s full identity and branding—from concept to promotion—including logo design, flyers, posters, t-shirts, neon signage, and video visuals.
The Climate Resilience Summits are organized by the Vatican and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. They bring together diverse partnerships across disciplines—uniting researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs—with community leaders such as faith leaders, NGOs, mayors, governors, and the public. The goal is to foster collaboration and education around the challenges and solutions of climate resilience.
We created a branding system to be implemented across the global summits, including site-specific logos for California, Massachusetts, Europe, India, Brazil, Africa and more.
