“I had the pleasure of working with Levi as our Shared Marketing Strategist through the United Way.  He was always forward thinking and brought the total package whether it was video, photography, advertising, or donor/sponsor relations- Levi had it under control.  We are especially grateful for his onboarding us with GiveButter, a DRM which allowed us seamless management of our newest fundraising campaign.”

The Story of Children's Camp

Youth Alternatives is a nonprofit that serves income eligible youth afterschool and summer programming.  As the agency leadership and board seek to ensure a bright future, they sought to put together a full-length documentary to accompany outreach for sophisticated audiences, and to memorialize a beloved childhood memory.

Children’s Camp is the beating heart of YA. It is an annual, weeklong sojourn deep into the forest.  A connection with peers through the experience of nature.  Many of the campers go onto to be counselors, with several event volunteers having decades of experience. Shortly before it are key fundraisers which feed enormous expenses of taking nearly a hundred children to a sprawling green paradise, and providing them with a week of programming, food and safety.

Venango County's Biggest Festival Rebrands and Launches Better Website

Franklin Applefest attracts 100,000 visitors each year. It came time to modernize the website and pair it with reimagined branding. We had no professional photography readily available, so I volunteered to take photos at the event. What they didn't know is that I was actually pulling stills from video, and I donated them a promo video. This was used prior to the next year's Applefest which saw record numbers of attendance.

New Primetime Holiday Fundraising Strategy

Community Services is a nonprofit that serves infants, adults, and older adults in Northwestern PA. Their previous fundraiser had been historically successful, but was becoming increasingly more difficult and less fruitful. In conjunction with the executive director, program leaders, and their marketing staff - we developed a new fundraiser with striking new colors and fun mechanics.

Deliverables:

From Challenge to Champion

II4T is a STEM nonprofit that serves K-12 students free programming and provides workforce development to teachers. After the political climate had severely affected grants,  II4T sought to leap to stability with a 360-degree marketing offensive.  Unaware local businesses and agencies were met with a smile, handshake and one-pager.  Current or previous volunteers, donors, and partners were given a clear set of asks and helped to surge the industry and professional networks.  This would lead to II4T’s leadership subsequently making new connections at the state level, new donors, and strong new partnerships.

Work Ethos

Everyday is a chance to build civilization and if we are privileged enough to participate, then we must try our best as individuals and a collective.

Other Work

Alpha Models is a Las Vegas based male modeling agency.

Their CEO and co-founder asked for branding that felt premium yet approachable.

Ecliptic Impressions is an individual artist who sells mandala artwork.

She wanted a logo that captured the handmade feel and expressiveness in her art.

LawLytics is an all-in-one law firm website solution.

They had an existing logo, but  the project mentioned above required a slide with their branding, so I added some motion magic.

II4T is a STEM nonprofit that serves K-12 students free programming and provides workforce development to teachers.

They had an existing logo and the Founder asked me to help dazzle audiences with a strong logo reveal that encompassed the blossoming of knowledge through their STEM programming.

Sugar Valley Lodge is a nonprofit that serves residential care to those in need.

Many of their residents have physical and mental health issues, but all of them have no where else to turn.  Their CEO asked me to create a logo that captured the serenity and calmness that Sugar Valley Lodge brings to residents.

MG Signature Properties is the official branding for a realtor.  She wanted branding that captured the absolutely excitement of handing a key over to a new homeowner, and all of the new memories and experiences they were about to have.

Vision Bowl is a fundraiser for Venango County Association for the Blind.

The Executive Director wanted to freshen up the event with an official logo.  Their clients love to joke and have fun, so we went with a light-hearted blind mascot bowling ball featuring Braille. 

Youth Alternatives is a nonprofit that serves income eligible youth afterschool and summer programming.

They had me rebrand and develop a new logo that helped dispel feelings that it was place for behavioral issues- rather than a place for kids to build friendships, seek mentorship, eat good food, exercise, have fun, and improve academics.
