2020 Impact Awards

Working against the backdrop of 2020 looked different from years past. But that didn’t stop us from making an impact at J&J Design.

Like everything else in 2020, we had to pivot our event planning to be held on Zoom. Over the summer, I worked with our 2020 summer interns to collaboratively develop the 2020 design strategy and visual concept, while Ryan created the animated anvil renderings. Incorporating lessons from our year of being Very Online™️, music and co-presenters played an important role in building energy and excitement through the event (you can watch the event recording at the link below).

We received 48 submissions and hosted more than 80 participants in the Zoom event.
