NoMad Jazz Festival

We were part of a small team that envisioned, organized, and brought to life the first edition of the NoMad Jazz Festival.

The two-day music festival, free to the public, took place in Madison Square Park—the centerpiece of the NoMad neighborhood in the heart of New York City—and featured unforgettable performances by Lizz Wright, the Roy Hargrove Big Band, Brandee Younger, and Ravi Coltrane.

While Rio Sakairi of The Jazz Gallery oversaw the art direction of the artists lineup, we were responsible for the entire visual art direction, including digital and print collateral, the festival’s website, merchandise, and our first venture into stage design.

As jazz fans ourselves, it was deeply rewarding to be part of this event in New York, the cradle of modern jazz, and to help build the foundation for what we hope will become a city tradition for years to come.
