Case Study: Designing the Outward Face

Track 1: The Mark

Planned a burgee flag design to implement for growing advanced sailing team marketing; used a method from sailors dating back to the 18th century
Inherited a color palette, star, and sail shape from a prior designer; no brief, no direction
Reinterpreted what existed rather than starting over: 3 iterations
Executive Director signed off; delivered to a flag/banner printer as a print-ready file

Track 2: The Deck

Team Paradise invited to the 2026 Going for Gold Rally: realtors and community leaders from Palm Beach to Key West, hosted by Exp Realty
Built the full pitch deck solo in Canva, ~5 hours, 2 days' notice
Presented live to a room with zero prior context on the org

Outcome

The mark is now the org's official burgee; printed, flown on program coach boats, and used in social media marketing
The deck delivered a first impression to a new donor community
