MAUDE X PAPER

Maude and PAPER Magazine celebrated Pride Month with a rooftop event called "Full Bloom" at the Walker Hotel in Tribeca, NYC. The event featured a stunning 360-degree view of Manhattan, custom cocktails, and a large butt plug sculpture to support LGBTQ sexual education. Notable NYC figures attended, and guests left with Maude products, advocating for sexual wellness and inclusivity.

Created an event identity that was applied across all of the printed and digital assets for the party. Worked with PAPER's team to coordinate and design the party's ice sculpture, decor, and menu for the event.
