Role
Design Director and Creative Lead, shaping visual strategy and campaign rollout, at Sametz Blackstone Associates

For its 2025/26 season, Lyric Opera of Kansas City required a unified visual system capable of promoting four distinct productions while maintaining cohesive season branding. The objective was to create a campaign framework that could scale across print, digital, and environmental marketing touchpoints.

Custom wordmarks and show-specific visuals were developed to reflect the emotional core of each production, while a consistent compositional structure ensured brand continuity across posters, digital ads, website landing pages, brochures, and on-site materials.

The result is a campaign-driven system that balances individuality and cohesion, supporting season-wide recognition and audience engagement.
