Role
Creative Direction, Experience Design, A/V
The Cipher Brief Honors recognizes professionals who have shaped the national and global security dialogue across government, the private sector, journalism, and entertainment. It is a black-tie dinner, not a conference. The room is full of people who attend the world's most serious events and have seen every version of awards show production done well and done poorly. The bar for what registers as polished is set by that experience. The event launched in 2024 with no existing visual identity. I built the brand from scratch and own every designed surface it touches: stage, screens, signage, web, social, advertising, and the live A/V operation during the program itself.
