Save the Date: YEAH! Berkeley Fundraiser

I first heard about YEAH! Berkeley from a friend, then my husband started volunteering last Spring. The organization is committed to Bay Area homeless youth, providing a safe shelter, hot meals and basic necessities. While my husband cooked breakfast at the shelter, he’d talk with the kids and get to know their individual stories. He’d bring those stories home to me, which encouraged me to help. With an annual fundraiser coming up in the Fall, the organization asked for a graphic designer to help out, so I jumped at the chance. The main guidance I received was that they were drawn to really graphic typography, but they were hoping I could expand on their ideas. Keep an eye out for the rest of the pieces for this event!

Save the Date: Shauna & Steve

For their save the date, these two wanted an image from their retro-inspired engagement shoot to be the main feature. I designed a little banner in line with their theme to carry their information and we had a slick little number to send through the mail.

Save the Date: Wendi & Sam

Wendi & Sam’s save the date postcard came to life through a lot of planning and some retouching magic. This great idea literally started while driving down the road one day; they saw the signage and thought it had potential for a fun save the date. We were able to get the main photo on site during the engagement shoot, then I went to work to make it match the vision that started it. I really enjoy retouching photos and I was able to put those skills to work creating the stylized feel of this card. The final result turned out very well and makes quite a unique piece of wedding goods.

Save the Date: Kristen & Ryan

Meet the bride & the groom, two fun-loving people that wanted to invite their family & friends to their wedding with a Save the Date that really fit their personalities. Since not many of the details were settled yet, we decided to use some fun pictures of them & sunglasses, which hinted at the beach wedding to come. I think this announcement fits the couple perfectly.

Save the Date cards for my own wedding. The picture of me & my man is from a painting I made for him on our first Valentine’s Day together. Not many people know that, but it was a reference to the years we’ve spent together.
