    Wrapping Paper for Design Contest
    This design won the hearts of the employees at the local printing company and was selected as "Employee's Choice Winner" in 2024. It was printed and delivered to hundreds of their customers as a holiday gift. I also won "President's Choice" in 2023 for the design with the dogs.
    Logo
    The client requested a logo that emphasizes the “magic” of language — showcasing how carefully selected words can transform a message into something powerful and captivating.
    2025 Vision Gala Program & Collaterals
    For many years, I have designed a 36-page program, signage, table decor, promotional ads, and social media content for the Alzheimer’s Association Vision Gala — an annual fundraising event that raises nearly $1 million each year. This ongoing collaboration reflects my commitment to creating impactful visual experiences that support the organization’s vital mission of finding vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
    Menu for Restaurant
    I have been designing and updating the main menu as well as the drink menu for Gus's Italian Sports Bar for many years. Each year, the prices are changed which gives an opportunity to visually upgrade the menus. Charlie had this to say about my work: “With Jeanne, developing the product is always easy, enjoyable, and right on time. Working with Jeanne is like having coffee with a dear and close family member!”
    2025 Memory Ball Program and other Gala Collaterals
    For the 2025 Memory Ball, an annual gala celebrating local “Dancing Stars” through an evening of cocktails, dinner, music, and dance competition, I designed the event cover and led the development of a comprehensive 116-page publication. This project integrated various elements, including custom-designed advertisements and sponsor submissions. My design approach focused on embodying the event’s playful theme, The Great American Road Trip, blending visual storytelling with strategic layout to create a memorable and impactful publication that captured the spirit of the event.
    Organize It Las Vegas
    I developed the logo and collaterals for this new organizing business located in Las Vegas. In addition, the client had this to say: "Jeanne created the perfect logo, brand colors, business and rack cards for my new professional home organizing business in Las Vegas. I’m thrilled with the results and grateful for the strong foundation she gave my brand.”
