WRITING
From long, ponderous prose set in far away fantasy lands to compelling literary reportage to sardonic media reviews to technical writing to straight journalism, I continue to write for purpose and pleasure. Here are a few examples.
Knowing that the Rhode Island School of Design's Office of Institutional Engagement is somewhat analogous to Ringling's Office of Advancement, I have collected just a few projects that were created specifically for Ringling's Office of Advancement over the past few years. While my work at the college serviced many departments, I was often involved in strategy, messaging, asset production, and digital delivery for this office's campaigns. For even broader examples of work created for Ringling College of Art and Design, please visit the Ringling page of this portfolio.
Illustrating Why It Matters
Avant Garde
Office of Advancement, Ringling College
When tasked by the Office of Advancement to create a video for the annual Avant Garde fundraising event that would demonstrate the personal gratification in the act of giving, I knew that the best approach would be to find a personal story. This video was played for potential donors at the event. Avant Garde has, to date, raised close to three million dollars for student scholarships.
A Fun Time for a Good Cause
Ringling Golf Tournament
Office of Advancement, Ringling College
As a promotional video for the Ringling Golf Tournament, which helps raise student scholarship funds, the secondary goal with this campaign was to illustrate to Sarasota business owners the direct benefits of helping Ringling College attract the best artists from around the world.
You Will Always Be Remembered
Commencement, 2020
Office of Advancement, Ringling College
The end of the 2020 school year was all about finding ways to turn negatives into positives. Just like at other schools, Covid negated the possibility to have live events such as Commencement. The goal with this campaign was to validate the hard work of the graduating class through a series of virtual and interactive experiences despite the pandemic, culminating in this address by the president.
