jhp taste of new york gala
Event identity and web work for JHP's Taste of New York gala. The 2023 engagement covered a milestone 30th anniversary identity, full print suite, sponsor signage, event program, and Squarespace site. The relationship continued into the 2026 gala with a refreshed event website structure.

Jewish Heritage Programs (JHP) is a Philadelphia-area nonprofit umbrella organization supporting Jewish heritage and cultural initiatives across the Greater Philadelphia region.
The 2023 gala was JHP's 30th anniversary, so the identity needed to carry more than one night. I built three marks for different contexts: the emblem as the official seal, the badge for celebratory anniversary use, and the masthead lockup for covers and signage. The print suite moved from save-the-date through invitation, RSVP, event program, sponsor recognition, and night-of materials. The Squarespace site handled ticketing in the lead-up, then flipped to a post-event recap with photos and remarks. The same event system continued into 2026, with the website structure updated for the new gala cycle.
Identity System + Save the Date
Three marks built for different contexts: an official anniversary emblem, a bold 30th anniversary badge, and the TASTE OF NEW YORK masthead lockup for covers and signage. The save-the-date brought the system into the event world with a vintage NYC coin-op binocular viewer as the anchor image.
Invitation Suite + Program
Envelope, trifold invitation, RSVP card, and event program all shared the same visual system but carried different jobs. The invitation handled honorees and logistics, the RSVP doubled as a sponsorship form, and the program added JHP history, committee lists, and night-of structure.
Sponsor Recognition + Night Of
Large-format sponsor recognition listed donors by tier and hung in the ballroom, while the printed programs carried the system onto the tables. A few night-of photos show the work in the room without turning the page into an event album.
2026 Website
JHP came back for the 2026 gala website using the same two-phase event structure: pre-event ticketing, venue details, and honoree information first, then a post-event recap with photography and remarks after the gala.
