I designed the logo for Transformations CDC, a non-profit created in order to serve the growing immigrant community in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.
Its mission is to build bridges to recovery, restoration, and self-reliance for persons who have struggled to survive; overcome the legacy of slavery, prejudice and racism; find ways out of oppressive poverty; strengthen families and households, nurture and support children; restore community; and connect people with spiritual power.
The logo portrays a Monarch butterfly in the style of a Mayan weaving. The Monarch is a rich symbol in the indigenous cultures of Mexico and Guatemala. It represents metamorphosis, crossing borders, and ultimately; the transformation that the organization hopes to bring into people's lives.

More recently, I created a poster and social media campaign reimagining the monarch butterfly design, to inform people in the Cincinnati area that they could celebrate and support their immigrant neighbors by dining on a particular evening at The Incline Public House. 10% of checks went to support the work of Transformations CDC. A single dinner among neighbors raised $1,800!
