McDonald Theatre

Life is better Live

Historic heart of downtown showcasing entertainers from around the world.

As in-house creative lead for McDonald Theatre, I built a visual identity system through illustration, printmaking, and collage — one that captured the venue’s soul and helped solidify its place as a cultural beacon. Every poster told a new story — crafted from artist interviews, lyrics, and local lore — and each added a new layer to the theatre’s evolving visual history.
