Innovation in Event Design: A Creative Odyssey at DCSW

Overview:

As a Graphic Designer and Director of Creative Affairs at DCSW, a production company originally founded in Washington, D.C., I've played a pivotal role in addressing creative challenges. DCSW boasts a diverse portfolio of events, including fashion shows, pop-ups, and art exhibitions, with esteemed sponsors like Balmain Paris Hair Couture, Inglot Cosmetics, and Peroni Italy.

My journey began as the company's first graphic designer and evolved into a leadership role overseeing creative direction across social media and events. I lead a dedicated team in crafting innovative campaigns that resonate with our niche D.C. audience.

Challenge:

My challenge has been to consistently push creative boundaries while precisely targeting our D.C. niche audience. In the dynamic world of event production, it's vital to stay ahead of trends, integrate sponsor brands seamlessly, and exceed attendee expectations. Leading our creative team to deliver innovation and engagement across platforms and events has established DCSW as a dynamic presence in the D.C. event landscape

How Content Creators Ignited DCSW's Rise

DCSW Influencers & Events: Uniting a Fashion Community, Amplifying Brand Presence

In 2019, I undertook a mission to unify Washington D.C.'s fashion influencer community, breathing life into DCSW's brand. Our curated events, spanning International Women’s Day to holiday bazaars and art exhibitions, showcased the epitome of fashion shows. Through precise event orchestration and the launch of DCSW's influencer/content creator program, we enlisted over 40+ influential voices, resulting in a remarkable 500,000 social media impressions that reverberated with our brand's identity. The inaugural event was proudly sponsored by Bluestone Lane.
