Role

Art Director, Lead Designer

Housing Works is a historically important New York City-based nonprofit organization providing medical care, supportive services, and housing to vulnerable New Yorkers affected by HIV and AIDS. As an activist organization, they cannot rely entirely on government funding and have established a number of entrepreneurial ventures as income streams, including the renowned Bookstore Cafe in the heart of Soho.

The Bookstore Cafe frequently hosts events, ranging from author talks to live podcast recordings. The Live From Home series of concerts hosted major artists across a range of genres. While working at Housing Works as Design Director it was my privilege to design posters for these monthly concerts.
