Bastion: a community of resilience

In the fall of 2024, a close friend reached out for my assistance in designing a fundraiser t-shirt for Bastion, a nonprofit that fosters communities of connection and person-centered care to empower veterans and their families towards resilience and whole health. The shirt's theme was Mardi Gras, allowing me to enjoy illustrating various Carnival floats alongside a segment of Bastion's tagline, "a place to call home," which resonates with the vibrant community of New Orleans as well. A few months later, I also contributed to Bastion's 2024 annual report, highlighting their achievements and progress over the past year.
