Artspace ROA

A targeted initiative to bring affordable live/create space to Roanoke, VA.

“The Best Project I have had the honor of being a part of.”

I began working on the Artspace ROA initiative just days after I got married in 2023. This project is a partnership between Artspace, the national non-profit organization and Riverdale Village, the visionary development site from Ed Walker. Our mission is to create affordable live/work housing for artists here in Roanoke, Virginia.

I was a part of the Core Team, a group of local artists and innovators who continue to inspire and motivate me today. My role included the creation of the Artspace ROA visual identity, which took the form of a wide variety of both digital and print assets. From postcards to social media posts, from bus stop advertisements to cookies and cake I saw my work in completely new ways. I also was able to see the community view and respond to my work unlike I ever have before.

This is truly the best project I have had the honor of being a part of.
