Designing for an innovative youth symphony
The Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra is one of the nation’s premiere youth organizations. Although they offer several tiers of youth symphonies, their reason for being is a deeper cultural and contextual education for teenage youth.
In collaboration with Matt Sheppard, the artistic director, I create a design system platform that the staff leverages for educational and marketing purposes throughout the season. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to donate my design talents to this thriving organization for the past ten years.
I also created the materials for the new branding launch during the 40th Anniversary and the branding design for the 50th Anniversary of the EYSO Organization.
