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.
