KID’S SUMMER PROGRAMS

RFTC SUMMER TENNIS CAMPS

Summer 2026 — River Forest Tennis Club,
River Forest, IL

The Brief
This one came through word of mouth, the best kind. A fellow school parent, and Interior Designer, at River Forest Tennis Club needed help bringing the Junior Tennis program's summer branding to life: custom tee shirts for the kids and banners to greet them at the gate.

The Work
The concept started as a rough idea, refined through AI-assisted exploration before landing on my desk for art direction, typography, and production. I took it from concept to finished product, tightening the type, sharpening the layout, and getting it printer-ready.

The Deliverables
Here's everything that made it into the final program:

  • Art direction and production

  • Custom tee shirt design and printing across two programs

  • 5ft foot x 5ft event banners hung outside the club to greet the kids as they arrived for camp

The Result
The club came back for a second program that same summer, same treatment, same energy, round two. A partnership that's gone the distance.
