As Art Director for Bently Reserve, I was asked to manage, direct, and design the Advertising and Marketing for the upcoming event Pursuit of Equality. Aside from a Branding Identity, Sponsorship Package, Ask Letter, and Invitation, I’ve also designed and developed the Pursuit of Equality website; and after having the luxury of working with a fantastic group of committee member and reviewing the pre-release of the movie by Geoff Callan, it’s an honor to help, if anything, watch history in the making.
