Art direction + writing

SOLOS: exhibition strategy + digital storytelling

1. Creative Strategy Planning: goals, vision, expectations, desired theme, target audience, objectives.


I devised a masterplan and unified narrative for the art exhibition, ‘Solos’, a collaboration between Hyperlab Design Studio, painter Gabriele La Teana, and sculptor Filippo Salerni, curated by Luca Ladisa. I identified a common theme across the diverse artworks: a dialogue between digital and physical art realms, bridging disparate styles into a single, cohesive discourse. The goal: exposure.

    The MNT: brand strategy + business planning

    1.  Foundation: 


    “The MNT” is 3 parts—an art gallery, live music events space, and working artists studio. Formerly ‘Work in Progress Art + Community Space’, their offerings and priorities had shifted, which is why I reformed and envisioned an entirely new brand and platform. The target audience is elevated, the brand positioning rearranged. Maintaining a highly competitive landscape in San Francisco, I assessed strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges.

      Naïfs: creative strategy + startup branding

      1. Amanda Winnie Kabuiku aimed to shift modern culture away from its Western-centric view and rightfully attribute borrowed elements to their origins.


      In alignment with the mission, we sought a unique, thought-provoking brand name. We chose 'Naifs,' a term often used by Western society as a derogatory label for self-taught or traditional arts, distinct from the so-called high "art" reserved for the educated. Naming the magazine 'Naïfs,' we strove to reclaim the term to wear as a badge of honor.
