RiverzEdge Arts Project is a youth development program giving educationally and economically disenfranchised youth (ages 12-24) in northern Rhode Island paid employment in the arts and a voice in the community. Based in Woonsocket, one of RI's poorest cities, RiverzEdge engages teens in a lifestyle of creative expression, disciplined effort, and economic self-reliance.
AsDesignWorks Director, I manage a graphic design studio made up of 7 teen participants. The youth design real products for real clients. Our specialties include, logos, websites, brochures, annual reports and wedding invitations.
