Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project
Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project
Role: Co-Founder & Creative Director
As the Co-Founder and Creative Director of the Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project, I shape the project's visual identity and storytelling approach to preserve and celebrate the history of Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ community. I lead the creative direction for branding, digital presence, and multimedia initiatives, ensuring a cohesive and impactful experience across platforms. From designing the project's website and marketing materials to curating visual narratives through photography, print, and digital storytelling, my work brings history to life in a compelling and accessible way. Through strategic design and branding, I help make the stories of Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ pioneers more visible, engaging, and enduring.
About the Project:
The Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project
is a multimedia initiative to gather, share, and preserve the history and life stories
of LGBTQ+ communities in Georgia and across the Southeast. Through oral history, photography, and archival materials, we bring the voices and
stories of LGBTQ+ Atlantans to life.
The project comes to life through exhibitions, the Out Down South podcast, live and virtual panel series, and online materials. All project materials are archived at Georgia State University Library’s Special Collection & Archives.
Out Down South Exhibition
the national center for civil & human rights
As the Co-Curator and Designer of the Out Down South exhibition, I lead the effort along with Rachel Garbus of bringing to life an outdoor exhibit that celebrated Atlanta's rich LGBTQ+ history through compelling portraiture and personal narratives. This free, public exhibition at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights featured portraits and recorded stories of influential LGBTQ+ Atlantans, presented in their own words. Visitors engaged with these narratives through QR codes accompanying each portrait, offering an interactive experience that honored the voices and contributions of our community's trailblazers.
