2025 POLITICO & NOTUS Brunch

In April 2025, POLITICO and NOTUS closed out White House Correspondents’ weekend with their signature brunch celebrating journalistic excellence.

As the in-house design lead at Bond Events, I developed the event’s Nashville-inspired visual identity, drawing on vintage concert posters, country music iconography, and the distinctive character of Music City. I carried this creative direction across the event branding and supporting graphics, creating a cohesive visual experience that brought the theme to life.
