In 2019, the Academy of Friends, a non-profit organization, chose "Neptune's Fantasy" as the captivating theme for their annual flagship fundraiser, the Academy Awards Night Charity Gala. My role entailed designing the poster for the extensive

and well-funded advertising campaign dedicated to promoting this highly anticipated one-night event.

​

As the lead designer, I supervised a talented team, guiding them in translating the concept of an underwater Neptune theme

into a visually captivating poster that would adorn billboards, posters, and kiosks throughout San Francisco. Additionally, our design took center stage in the social media campaign.

A primary focus of our artwork was to highlight diversity and inclusivity, evoking a sense of allure and confidence through

the models featured. To create an immersive undersea ambiance, I led the designers on my team in utilizing multiple layers of gradients, effects, patterns, and colors. Witnessing the significant role our poster played in promoting this influential fundraiser was an absolute delight and an extraordinary honor.
