SYRACUSE STAGE
For more than 15 years, I have served as an in-house creative lead for Syracuse Stage—shaping its visual identity across web, season branding, advertising, publications, signage, photography and video.
Role: Creative Director + Lead Designer
Scope: Brand strategy, campaign development, web design, print and digital advertising, photography, video + motion and production oversight.
Designed + Built SyracuseStage.org
2026/2027 Season Branding
Season Branding
I develop annual season identities that bring productions with very different visual worlds together under a recognizable Syracuse Stage voice. Each system supports subscription sales, individual-show marketing, institutional communications and year-round audience engagement.
One Idea, Every Platform
Each campaign begins with a central visual concept. I develop that idea into a flexible system that remains recognizable across physical, digital and time-based media—whether it appears on a building banner, website, social post, video spot or radio advertisement. Selected applications from the Come From Away campaign:
