From 2007 through 2010, I was the primary designer for the Starkey Hearing Foundation's Annual Gala. This included everything from the program (pictured below) to large format signage, posters, handouts, name badges, etc. Widely considered the high profile event in the state of Minnesota, the gala drew the likes of Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Garth Brooks, Gladys Knight, Elton John, Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald, Muhammad Ali, and former president Bill Clinton. The event steadily increased how much it raised in each of those years, with over $7 million in 2010. The proceeds supported the foundation's missions to provide less fortunate people around the world with hearing aids and subsequent care.
