Philanthropy

Over the course of the last year I’ve been dedicating part of my web services to community and charitable organizations. The need for social action and artistic prosperity is ever-present and growing. So far, I’ve worked with Free the Slaves of Loyola University Chicago and Breaking Ballerinas, a student film, also out of Chicago. I expect these projects to be the first of many web and graphic donations and encourage that you also consider getting involved with these, or similar organizations.

(Do you know of a deserving charity in need of an online make over? Tell me about it.)

free the slaves

I worked with the Loyola University Chicago chapter of Free the Slaves during the ’10-’11 school year. This non-governmental organization is more than a decade deep in ending modern slavery across the world. A large portion Free the Slaves’ work goes to liberating child labor and sex slaves. For the Loyola chapter I created a number of graphic print materials to promote events and awareness, with hopes of spreading our desire for human justice. Learn more

breaking ballerinas

Breaking Ballerinas is an independent period piece being created and filmed by students of Columbia College, Chicago. Okasoft’s donation includes a custom WordPress platform with blog and photo gallery features, plastered with a uniquely beautiful aesthetic. Take a look at the recently launched website for behind the scenes video and opportunities to sponsor the production process. Visit site
