Objective

My first dip into creative work was as a Marketing & Outreach Intern. I collaborated with 70+ volunteers to lead the daily operations of The Hub, a mission-driven, volunteer-run coffee shop that supports 50+ local nonprofits & increases volunteerism in the community. Besides keeping the coffee shop going, I built a content drive for the website relaunch, recorded and presented analytics over 14 months, and designed collateral for outreach projects, donor acknowledgment, and special events. Looking back at the experience, my favorite moments were spent capturing photos – some of which you’ll find here.

Process

Behind-the-scenes look at the process. (Above, left) Putting my barista skills to the test making seasonal drinks to capture photos of.

Filling the frame are over 70 names of the volunteers that make The Hub possible.

Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they have the heart.
