Phase 1 Creative

For phase 1 the visual direction uses the brand’s bold colors to create eye-catching graphics that tell a story. A squiggling line represents the chaos of life, that can feel overwhelming and all-consuming at times. The “bubble” around the subjects used in the graphics represents the peace 988 provides. This direction jumps off the screen because of its engaging use of contrast.

Art Direction

We created a visual direction that illustrates the juxtaposition of internal or external turmoil the audience may experience with the peace and safe space that 988 provides.

RESULTS

In each campaign phase, we drove awareness of the 988 Lifeline and its new features, gaining 384 million impressions, including 18 million video views, and giving vulnerable communities access to a free, potentially life-saving mental health tool.

Across platforms, our creative assets helped to tell a story of hope amidst struggle, guiding people to the 988 number, platform, and other resources. This increased tool favorability by 74% and website visits by 30%, leading to over 600k views.

We were recognized for this impactful work by receiving a Marcom Gold Award.

Phase 2 Art Direction

We iterated off of the success of phase 1 for phase 2 by keeping what was working and pushing the concept of the squiggle motif further into a human-centric direction.  We used powerful portraits of individuals giving strong eye contact through the squiggling lines to appeal more to the emotion of our audience. This evolution is a natural progression of telling the story of 988.

Phase 2 Art Direction

I created this travel poster for the Town of Narragansett to support local pride during quarantine. The goal was to highlight areas that are important to locals rather than tourists. Narragansett is where I grew up and where I stayed during the pandemic, so this project was very personal to me. The POV is from my paddle board on the Narrow River.

Phase 1 Art Direction

I designed these event posters for the School of the Museum of Fine Arts' Health, Safety, and Sustainability Day. The plastic bag is meant to call attention to our environmental audience as they see the print from afar. The type and imagery on the plastic bags mirrors those that are common in everyday life, but with a twist.

MLB Partnership

I led the agency’s first MLB creative partnership for the campaign, taking point on both concept and design. This activation rolled out during the summer of 2024 and included creative collateral across 12 multimedia formats, from in-stadium event activations to large-scale ad takeovers.

As a second-phase push, we launched the Bullied Button campaign—an interactive concept inviting audiences to “press the issue” and surface real stories of bullying. The activation deepened engagement and reinforced the campaign’s core message: youth deserve to be seen, heard, and supported.
