As Lead Designer for EY’s Southwest Entrepreneur of the Year Gala, I shaped the full visual identity — from theme concept and stage design to invitations, trophies, coasters and 10-ft environmental graphics. Directed a remote team of five, managed 25+ deliverables, enforced brand precision, and delivered the black-tie event $25K under budget while earning multiple design excellence awards. High-stakes, high-visibility creative leadership — on time, on brand, and unforgettable.
