One of the goal over at Fun2Raise Marketing and Events is to not only raise money/funding for the school we work with but we also provide them with physical printed projects.

As co-founder of Dopery Inc., I proposed the idea of marketing our brand through apparels. We were aiming for a young and youthful scene and felt the best way to reach out to them is to target the market they invest the most interest in. We would later branch out to include merchandising such as stickers, lanyard, key chains, wristband, and phone cases. Shirts can be purchased at www.dopery.com/shop.
For two years I was in charge for designing tournament shirts for Wayzata High School Boys Basketball Association. They would wear the shirt for the duration of the "Wayzata Classic" basketball tournament.

FrenchKiss is a online and printed magazine that focus on culture, talents, arts, and fashion from the Chicago scene. I was brought onto the FrenchKiss team from the beginning of their incarnation as a freelance graphic designer to assist with all the graphical elements that is needed for the magazine and website.
The first two issues I coordinated the appearance and presentation. I worked closely with the editors and photographers to create a layout that they feel would best present their work. I worked on photo manipulation, color correction, select typeface, layout themes, artwork, ad design, ad placement, and revisions.

GreenbergFarrow competed in the International Competition for Nodeul Dream Island in Seoul, South Korea. My role as the designer was to design a presentation board consisting of 6 panels(33.1in x 46.8in each) mounted onto thick foam boards without frame that would be presented during the competition. They would be individual panels but when put together create a cohesive design.
Another aspect of the projects I was task with was to put together a presentation book that will go through the concept, floor plans and project summary.
Location: Nodeul Island, Seoul, Korea
Programs: Concert Hall, Multipurpose Hall, Retail/Office, Pedestrian Bridge
Site Area:1,290,000 SF
Concept: Roughly translated, Nodeul is "stepping stone where white heron paddled". Stepping stones, or river rocks softened by the passage of time and water to form a soft and pleasing curving shape, produce an excellent metaphor for the basis of the design. Soft, curving lines demarcate the division of program within the site. The curves run adjacent to and overlap each other. This not only defines spaces indoors and outside, but also allows for seamless overlapping and transition between uses.
Nodeul Yard and Nodeul Space have a one of a kind programmable system that allows for flexible use and configuration. A grid system is implemented in both the yard and the participatory space. This grid is built to allow for components to be arranged in a customized way so that the space can best be utilized for the given event weather it's a farmers' market, trade show, concert, art fair, or children's festival. The Nodeul Space allows panels of any material to be anchored into the floor or ceiling without any mechanical equipment or cranes. Users can go online, reserve the Nodeul Yard or Nodeul Space for a certain time and certain day, then choose from a number of configurations that best fit their intended event. Nodeul Staff then can arrange the components very quickly without too much effort, and completely transform the space from one use to another.

I worked along side both the marketing and architect team at GreenbergFarrow to come up with a project books that consist of the firms current work or future work. These book are use as either a portfolio to present to future clients or as a presentation board including all the details of a particular upcoming project. My role was to conceptualize layouts, color options, and font choices. The books would then be distributed to all the 13 offices (including Mexico and Shanghai).
I was fortunate enough to have play a much bigger role than just designing the short-film promotional posters and working on the social media marketing campaign, but I also got the chance to assist behind the scene during filming.

During the first year of Dopery Inc. inception, they had a vision to host a major car show in the likes of California’s show. Dopery wanted to showcase that there was a serious car scene in Minnesota that was to be respected.
The event became a collaboration project with Minnesota’s car group Stance Movement and was held at the beginning of June to indicate the beginning of summer. There was a variety of competition with prizes, musical performance, vendors, meet and greet with models, breakdancing, and free food.
With the success of the first event, Dopery was able to garner out-of-state attentions leading to a bigger show and press coverage the following year. The follow up would up the ante in every single category. This time the project would be a collaboration with Minnesota’s car group Minnesota Nissian Infiniti (MNNI).
