Johnathan runs Recess U, a business that partners with other organizations to bring their vision to life. He brought me on to work with ACCA (American Contract Compliance Association), a nonprofit founded in 1986. The design problem: ACCA had decades of brand equity but inconsistent, low-resolution assets that couldn't scale to print. The mission was to gather stakeholder requirements, systematize the visual identity, design event collateral, and coordinate production for a branded pop-up shop.
Gathered existing ACCA assets and assessed what was usable. Recreated the logo as a clean, scalable vector system: seal, text, and crest, all production-ready for print on apparel and signage.
Designed promotional graphics including the pop-up banner, flyers with QR codes linking to the ACCA shop, and branded signage. Each piece was designed to communicate key information quickly to event attendees.
Created multiple logo variations optimized for different contexts: "Courage, Integrity, Commitment" treatment, cleaned-up crest logos, versions for dark and light apparel. A flexible system, not one-off designs.
Managed logistics end-to-end: venue booking, vendor scheduling, print production, and on-site setup. Ensured the branded experience was cohesive from graphics to physical space.
Designed the promotional graphics and banner for the ACCA pop-up shop, complete with QR codes linking to the online store.
