Teen HYPE
Graphic Design USA 2021 Award Winner
Since 2015, Capizzi Designs has collaborated with Teen HYPE, a non-profit serving Detroit’s youth, to help promote their mission and services through engaging and functional marketing materials. Over the years, I’ve become an extension of their team, helping them build a strong brand through various print and web collateral. Our long-term partnership has helped me gain an understanding of their organization on a deep level, giving me the ability to develop high-performing graphics for their brand. Together, we’ve created endless deliverables including: annual appeals, event invitations and on-site materials, social media campaigns, branded signage, reports, year overview sheets, and more.
Some of our wins together include:
-
Exceeding the fundraising goal of their 2019 breakfast event through thoughtful collateral that engaged donors before, during, and after the event.
-
A 500% year-over-year increase and doubling of their year-end fundraising goal in 2020.

The ability to repurpose their materials, giving them the ability to produce more branded content in less time.
