Aubrey Ingmar Promotional Images

These images are part of a photo shoot that I did for Chicago/Los Angeles artist, Aubrey Ingmar. Aubrey is an amazing artist, and I hosted her exhibition, The Billionaires, at Belong Gallery in the summer of 2023. With this promotional shoot, I aimed to create comfortable poses for Aubrey with interesting textured backgrounds/settings that complemented the artist’s personality and style.

Belong Gallery Visual Identity

I designed a complete visual identity for Belong Gallery, a nonprofit in Chicago which I founded. The identity included a logo, website, social media images, ad campaigns, print materials, and merchandise.

Belong Gallery grew to over 2,500 followers on Instagram, held over 20 exhibitions, hosted over 5,000 members of the public, and met its annual operating budget through creative fundraising campaigns.

The inspiration for the graphic system came from the word BELONG itself, since the word is so loaded with visceral meaning and emotion. Combined with the gallery’s mantra, YOU BELONG HERE, the identity became a popular gallery in Chicago that supported emerging artists and welcomed diverse audiences.
