What began for me in 2018 as a spot in the tenor section grew into a six-year journey shaping the voice of Silicon Valley Gay Men's Chorus, onstage and off. Over time, I evolved from singing member to volunteer board of director, and ultimately to the organization’s marketing director. I’ve led the creation of all print and digital design, from postcards and posters to email campaigns, social media, apparel, and the website, all while spearheading every aspect of external communications. I have periodically authored grant applications and, in 2022, led the development of a full brand refresh in collaboration with friend and designer Carrie Ford Hilliker. I remained a dedicated chorus member throughout, right up until relocating back to New York, just two days after the 2024 spring concert. • svgmc.org
