PHILANTHROPIC DESIGN-A-THON | IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY 2025
I participated in Iowa State’s first inaugural Philanthropic Design-a-thon, a one-day, 5 hour event where over 100 student designers partnered with 18 nonprofit organizations. During the event, I collaborated to create impactful design solutions — including logos, branding materials, and websites — that help amplify each nonprofit’s mission. This experience strengthened my real-world client communication skills and demonstrated the power of design in supporting community initiatives.

CROSSED ARROWS
Crossed Arrows is a veteran retreat dedicated to providing veterans and their families a place to spend quality time together and experience a sense of peace. Families can use the retreat’s land to hunt, fish, explore, and enjoy the natural surroundings.
After speaking with our client, they expressed the need for a professional logo and rebrand. Since they work closely with other companies for sponsorships and funding, they want to establish a set of brand guidelines that will allow them to approach these companies with a consistent and professional brand presence.
The following is my personal proposal in response to the client’s request.
