Small brands, companies, or in this case, schools, need decks for various reasons too. St. Benedict School needed a fundraiser presentation for their new playground initiative - Building Minds Through Play. The goal of the deck was to officially launch the fundraiser to the school board, school staff, parents and community members.

The deck needed to be informative, yet playful and embody the spirit of the school and its students. I focused on youthful icons, bright school colors, basic shapes and smiling student faces to bring the story of the new playground to life.

Over the next 12 months the school hit their fundraising goal and the playground has since been built with the help of dozens of community members (myself included).
