Kirkland Arts Center (KAC)

The Kirkland Arts Center is a non-profit facility in a historic building at the heart of Kirkland, WA. that features an art gallery and studios for classes and workshops that attract community members to co-mingle and engage their creative faculties. I was privileged to be able to work with their board president to interview teachers and students alike as a way to invite outside funding for their organization.

With two locations, one in New Orleans, Louisiana, and one in San Fransisco, California, Dark Garden has been making world-renowned corsets since 1989. I had the opportunity to collaborate with so many beautiful people in tandem with their fashion lines to help promote their business. Dark Garden is a woman-owned business that hand-makes all its items from its San Fransisco location.

A nonprofit organization established in 1975, the Bellevue Arts Museum provides rotating arts exhibitions to the public. I had the chance to work as an intern for their marketing department and create a dynamic reel with their employees, lead operators, and members for funding.
