The project
The Global Switchboard's Hub + Spoke was an interactive fundraiser event that gathered organizations in the Pittsburgh area to promote global engagement to its audience. The event took place at the Ace Hotel in 2018 and welcomed more than 300 guests in one night. They navigated through six different sections to learn more about what these organizations are doing to make Pittsburgh more global and better for everyone in the city.
My Role
As part of the team, I designed the logo and the visual identity, following the Switchboard's brand book. I created different promotional pieces across the board, from print, social media, to displays informing the sections at the event. The goal was to give uniformity to the whole event, helping create a unique experience to the audience.
