Ellies: Annual Awards Ceremony
Hosted by Douglas Elliman Real Estate, The Ellies recognized agents, staff, and divisions for their achievements throughout the year. During my time as designer at Elliman, I had the pleasure of giving the Ellies a fresh spin each year.
EVENT: A cross-regional annual awards ceremony honoring the achievements of the real estate company, brokers, and staff.
ROLE: Art Director, Graphic Designer
COLLATERAL: Event webpages, Keynote presentations, video bumpers, email communication, menu cards, step & repeat
Designing for an annual awards ceremony involves many moving parts and the vision to bring it all together.
Through art direction, I ensured the ceremony's branding was suitable for amazing locations in New York City, such as Radio City Music Hall and Cipriani 42nd Street, as well as at exclusive events throughout California and Florida
Designing across various mediums was no easy feat but I enjoyed seeing the vision executed as the pieces came together. From art deco to minimal chic, each year's unique design was brought to life through assets and experiential design:
- Digital collateral like an event webpage, video bumpers, and email communication
- Physical items such as menu cards, custom metal signage, and the awards actually given to agents
- Attendee immersion through photo ops at a branded step & repeat and animated on-screen presentations
From collaborating with vendors to on-site run-throughs, I learned from various departments and valued the experience each year. To see more of my experiential design projects, visit my portfolio (click to view)
