EMPOWERFEST 2020: POSTERS + WEB DESIGN
Empowerfest was a one-day event that took place at Glenwood Spring’s Riverview School in March, 2020. It was the vision of four young junior high school students, two of whom — Kate Hardaker and Sage Kaufman — were inspired to create the event through their longtime work as young ambassadors for the Glenwood-based NGO For the Good. On their own initiative, Kate, Sage and friends organized 18 dynamic local female leaders and organizations working to expand equity and inclusion in Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley to share their passion in an inspiring evening of conversation and celebration of diversity. To help garner awareness of the event, I designed event posters and a website for Kate and Sage, including a Spanish-language version that they and their classmates helped translate. Empowerfest ended up being one of the last public events in the Roaring Fork Valley before COVID shut down most public gatherings for many months.
