Open Flame


2018—2021
Co-founder
Creative Director
What started as an open mic, grew into an arts nonprofit—raising over $25,000 for LGBTQ+ charities across New York City.

I wrote and designed most of what you’ll see below—all driving ticket sales to Open Flame live programing (which meant more donations to charity).
