Amplify Music Festival — Identity & Branding • Environmental Design • Advertising

Role: Creative Director (Lenz Marketing)
Client: Amplify Music Festival


Amplify is a non-profit organization that harnesses the power of music and community to raise funds for local causes in the metro Atlanta area. Its flagship event, a three-day music festival, takes place across multiple venues in Decatur, GA—including an open-air stage on the city’s square—and has grown into a beloved tradition for both residents and visitors.

To capture the spirit of the event and its mission, we developed a dynamic identity system, poster art, website, digital and traditional advertising, and environmental graphics. The brand identity was designed to reflect both the meaning behind the organization’s name—amplifying the impact of local nonprofits—and the energy of the live music performances themselves. Each year, the festival’s visual language evolves, with new poster art that not only celebrates the featured musical talent but also serves as the foundation for the broader advertising campaign, website design, and on-site graphics.

Environmental design played a crucial role in creating a cohesive experience for attendees. Signage, stage banners, and venue graphics were designed to reinforce the brand identity, guide festival-goers between locations, and bring a sense of vibrancy to the entire event footprint.

The results speak for themselves: attendance, performance slots, and participating venues have grown year over year. Since its inception in 2011, Amplify has raised more than $575,000 for community-based nonprofits, directly benefiting organizations that make a tangible difference in the lives of local residents.

Coca-Cola — Promotional • Advertising • POS

Role: Art Director (Momentum Worldwide)
Client: Coca-Cola

For more than 130 years, Coca-Cola has been a symbol of refreshment and connection around the world. In my role as Art Director, I collaborated with Coca-Cola’s marketing team to develop packaging, advertising, promotions, and point-of-sale materials for both national and regional markets. A significant portion of this work was dedicated to motorsports, where Coca-Cola’s sponsorships spanned Formula 1, NHRA, and NASCAR. These projects required creating visually dynamic designs that resonated with racing fans, aligned with brand guidelines, and worked across multiple formats and channels.

Beyond motorsports, I also contributed to Coca-Cola’s collegiate football sponsorship initiatives, creating campaign visuals that connected the brand to the excitement of game day. I partnered closely with photographers to capture compelling imagery, and worked with print production vendors to ensure final deliverables met the highest quality standards. From high-energy event collateral to in-store displays, my work helped Coca-Cola maintain its iconic presence while engaging diverse audiences in targeted markets.
