    Given the virtual nature of this event due to COVID-19, our team worked together to ensure a sense of collaboration and foster connections among attendees. Working alongside the Association Forum team, I played a key role in developing a virtual conference space that offered various interactive features. Within this virtual environment, participants had access to a virtual exhibit hall, networking lounges, virtual fitness classes, and virtual educational session rooms. Our aim was to provide an immersive experience that replicated the benefits of in-person events while ensuring the safety and convenience of attending from any location.

          LOGO DESIGN & BRANDING
          Joey Hoisescu is one of the top 1% of Brokers in Colorado and owner of two successful Denver-based businesses. He came to me looking for a creative direction and a professional yet stylish redesign of his real estate brand.
          I recommended the name "The Property Somm" because of his previous career as a sommelier and his sincere dedication to his clients. I chose a bold sans-serif font combined with custom hand lettering to reflect Joey's bold and unique personality and approach to real estate.

    While collaborating with Joey to create the website for “JoeyProperty Somm.”, He asked that I turn a print neighborhood guide into an interactive & digital format.
          
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    To do this I created a hover function that zooms in on the neighborhood. This allows the viewer to see the neighborhood relative location in the Denver area while also showing the closer makup up the neighborhood.
          
    
    In addition to the neighborhood guide, I also programmed and designed an about section, contact form, and blog. Finally, I ensured the website maintenance was simple enough for my client to manage on his own. In this way, he did not need to spend more money to add blog posts or update information on the site.

    After completing the brand design for “The Property Somm.”, Joey hired me to create a mailer postcard designed to generate leads for his business. The celebratory postcard show left contains a QR that when scanned pulls up an automated SMS message to Joey. This prewritten message asks to schedule a chat about Denver real estate with Joey.

    In addition to the postcard marketing, I also used the updating branding to revive Joey’s buyer’s presentation. This presentation helps Joey land contracts with new client buyers by breaking down the buying process in digestable slides.
