Comedy for CARY

I'm always happy to help a nonprofit organization, especially one as important as the Council on At-Risk Youth (CARY). Please support this worthy cause at Comedy for CARY: An April Fool's Preview on Sunday, March 27th. It should be a wonderful time featuring Esther's Follies!

Fighting Breast Cancer

Four years ago, my friend, Bill Bastas (a fabulous photographer), asked me to be a part of his The Smile Never Fades fundraising gala to fight breast cancer (he lost his wife to the disease). I am honored to be a part of it again this year, designing all of the event collateral. For additional information on The Smile Never Fades, please visit www.thesmileneverfades.com. I hope to see you at the event on September 9th!

CulinART News Coverage

All our hard work paid off...CulinART was featured on KXAN News. You can even see the logo and Powerpoint presentation I designed in the close-up shot at the beginning of the segment. The event was quite a success raising over $30,000 for The Wright House Wellness Center. Woohoo!

Photos shown are after a long night of assembling all of the pyramid table cards (votive candles were inserted in each to illuminate them). I designed the invitations, programs, Powerpoint presentation, and combo table number cards/menus.

CulinART Invitations

I'm excited to announce that I'm the graphic designer for the upcoming March 11th "CulinART" event, which is produced by the Austin Chapter of the International Special Event Society to benefit The Wright House Wellness Center. This is my fourth year participating and I'll be designing everything from the invitations to the programs to the event stationery. Based on the fantasy theme of “Nature’s Labyrinth” and aspects of our planet’s four natural elements (earth, air, fire and water), I've included an image of the trifold invitation I designed. The event will feature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, silent, live and fine art auctions, and a four course plated dinner with chef demonstrations as part of the entertainment. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.isesaustin.com/culinart.
