Branding / Logo Design

  • Design and fabricated an exterior, sculptural monument sign as a prominent feature to the entrance of Zinc Luxury Apartments. Informed by Zinc's brand, the design was inspired by an AFH teen bringing the letter "z" to life through the power of origami.

  • AFH designed and developed BAA/BAAF's first professionally-designed website and we’re proud to say it’s getting rave reviews! The site is highly functional, offering an array of features to meet the needs of their diverse user base of students, parents and donors. We’re proud to have joined forces with another non-profit that’s passionate about supporting Boston youth.

    "In all my years, I’ve actually never seen a website project be run so well or move along so smoothly. There will always be issues, delays, etc. on a project this comprehensive, but I’ve been around a lot of website projects in my career and this one stands out as the best in class example of how to do it."

  • THIS IS NOW! Over three consecutive evenings, teen-inspired art from our Voices of the Future collection was projected on well-known Boston landmarks and live-streamed for public viewing. The talent, feelings and concerns of AFH fine artists, designers, and animators was shared for all to see! Our “intersectional” times call for our teen voices to be raised in response. Our first Community Arts Initiative, the project kickstarted our new Creative Technology Studio. Our Graphic Design Studio designed the event logo.

  • We teamed up with the designers at NOBULL to design the Artists For Humanity Collection of sneakers and accessories. The collection was inspired by one's journey to reach the defined "target" or "bulls-eye," knowing that what is most important is 'pushing on' while reflecting on and evolving the goal or path to achievement. An added bonus! 100% of net proceeds from the collection donated to Artists for Humanity, America Needs You, and the Majira Project.
