Cirque Du Soleil has unique shows that are a synthesis of circus styles from around the world, with their own central theme and storyline. Shows employ continuous live music, with performers rather than stagehands changing the props. It is the biggest theatrical producer in the world!
PROBLEM
JOYA is the first International show for Cirque Du Soleil, which is located in Mexico. Exposure is needed in order to gain more attraction.
CREATIVE STRATEGY
In order to gain more exposure and more attendees billboards, emails, cards, brochures, magazines, and etc. were created so people can make their reservations for an unforgettable experience!

"Happy Holidays" is the winter campaign that was geared towards families either inviting their loved ones or sending them on a vacation to the world of Vidanta.
PROBLEM
Families have purchased timeshares to this resort, however many of them aren't using them, and they have found that it is a struggle to get loved ones to come along with them.
CREATIVE STRATEGY
We created a stocking stuffer type of card that a family could give to their loved ones, in hopes that they would go on their vacation and use their timeshare more often.
This campaign was in collaboration with Shatha Hussein
The Reactivation Campaign was launched to gain more visibility and to gain more reservations for 6 hotels that are located all throughout Mexico.
PROBLEM
There are 6 Hotels that are under an umbrella company named Vidanta. Vidanta needed to get more exposure for each brand and familiarize people with each destination, to gain more reservations.
CREATIVE STRATEGY
For each hotel, a mini-website was created with 6 pages each, hitting on key points to showcase the hotels features. For each page, there was a Mailchimp email created to send people specifically to that page. In total, there were 12 mini-websites (6 in English and 6 in Spanish ) designed, which had a total of 72 pages. As well as 72 mailchimp emails created. This went out to the National and International database of people over a span of 6 months. The more emails that went out, the more reservations they made. Other items were created as well to amp up the reservations. The goal was to get an additional 7,000 — 15,000+ reservations from this push alone. We succeeded.
This campaign was in collaboration with Salvador C.

The issue today is that people, especially younger people are still going out and drinking irresponsibly at times. Whether that be getting behind the wheel intoxicated or acting irresponsibly. something needs to change.
CREATIVE STRATEGY
This app is customized for each person, it get's to know the nights you go out, who your closest friends are, and where your "safe places" are. It is keeping a watchful eye on your safety at all times using the watches built in gyroscope, heart rate monitor, and step calculator.

Zilker Kite Festival is one of Austin’s best-known annual events. Held on the first Sunday of March, it is the kick-off to the hundreds of springtime activities in Austin. It is the longest continuously running kite festival in the United States, since 1936. It is hosted by the Exchange Club of Austin, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse. They raise money to help support non-profit organizations in Central Texas engaged in the prevention of child abuse.
STRATEGY
This one day event doesn't get enough exposure, so I created 3 interactive posters that would be around town and located mainly indoors, to remind the people to get outside! Kids and adults can find out the message from the posters and hopefully attend the one day event, which will be a hands-on experience.
There are many different types of businesses, from all over. I have created new logos for most and recreated logos for some. Each trademark is created with in depth research to exemplify what the company is about.
This is a local urban farm right near downtown Austin. The family owned farm grows 75 seasonal vegetable varieties and they have a farm stand every Wednesday and Saturday. Anyone can come during the day and browse the farm. There are chickens, ducks, and beautiful flowers located throughout the 4.75 acres. A popular farm-to-table restaurant is located on the farm and run by the very well known chef Sonya Cote as well as weddings are sometimes held on weekends.
PROBLEM
The problem with the current identity of the local urban farm is that it isn’t versatile enough to echo everything they offer. The identity isn’t consistent and it doesn't reflect the great experience you have when actually being there. It needs to visually mirror the experience you have while you are there whether it be for a wedding, farm stand, or the restaurant.
CREATIVE SOLUTION
My objective is to create consistency with the brand throughout all outlets. I would also like to reflect the morals and values of this company through their brand identity. They are a well respected local company amongst their peers and I would like to visually represent that.

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on our site, and you can give any amount to the project that most inspires you.
When a project reaches its funding goal, they ship the materials to the school. You'll get photos of the project taking place, a letter from the teacher, and insight into how every dollar was spent. Give over $50 and you'll also receive hand-written thank-yous from the students.
STRATEGY
The overall strategy is to have the viewer visually see and feel the impact of these donations. If you donate enough, you receive a personal letter from the children, these are their stories on the difference you made in their lives.
