Every year, United Way for Greater Austin hosts their largest event of the year: A Night United. For 6 years in a row, we’ve concepted, designed, planned, and produced this “non-gala” gala, which invites members of the community to come together on one special night to be inspired, learn about the work United Way is doing in the community, and support their mission.

 

The 2024 event marked a significant milestone for the organization; they celebrated their 100th year, and the ongoing theme for the year was around the importance of community. Inspired by this theme, we created an event called Woven Together, grounded in a visual metaphor of a patchwork quilt representing 100 years of community within Central Texas. 

 

The quilt signifies the intricate tapestry of community, a harmonious patchwork of diverse patterns handed down through the years. The theme did not just borrow from the contemporary quilt's folky charm, but dove deep into its underlying significance.

 

Showcasing rich colors and patterns, the event empowered United Way and its guests to reflect on and celebrate the stories their history holds. Vibrant, playful hues infused the space with joyful energy, while the intricate textures and layers echoed the multifaceted layers of community.
