My artistic playbook for Victory Village Corp, a 501c3 organization that I established in 2017, beautifully captures the evolution of our mission and impact through dynamic logo art and compelling social media content. Since the inception of our flagship program, CODEXCEL STEM + ARTS Training Program in March 2017, we have experienced a remarkable growth journey. What began as a small classroom of seven (7) students at a local community center in the Houston TX area has blossomed into a vibrant initiative that reaches over 3,000 youth, teens, and their families living in Harris County, Texas. All of the content displayed below are my designs. Although I pride myself on leaning towards graphic design, my personal creative evolution expressed in this project over seven years has placed me in the cross zone between everyday creative and designer.

Hors d'oeuvres

Entertainment will be a highlight of the gala, with performances that bring the Regency era to life. A live orchestra will play period-inspired music, setting a sophisticated tone for the evening. Guests will be treated to ballroom dancing, with opportunities to participate in or watch elegant Regency-style dances. Additionally, theatrical performances or monologues inspired by the era will add a dramatic and engaging element to the event.

My next project is to design and plan the Victory Village Inc. Annual Founder’s Scholarship Gala and my 40th Birthday Celebration (same event), themed “A Bridgerton Night of Excellence.” The gala will be an elegant and memorable evening held in April, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, in Houston Texas. This event will transport guests to the opulent world of Regency-era London, celebrating excellence and achievement with a modern twist.The gala will serve as our primary annual fundraiser to raise scholarship funds for our CODEXCEL STEM + Arts program in which we aim to reach over 2000 underserved students annually, exposing and training them STEM through the Arts. The scholarships keep the program free of charge for the students and their families. Therefore, it is imperative to receive funding from the Imagination Fund to bring our creative designs to LIFE for an excellent cause.
