International Night

Social Media Design // Event Organization and Design // Community Engagement

International night is a monthly event at Saint Paul’s where attendees can learn about a country, try some of its food, and engage in a cultural activity. In the 2025-2026 school year, I became the event organizer. The role included finding hosts, organizing events, planning dinners, preparing food and refreshments, and promoting each event.

To promote each event, I had to make a series of posters that featured different counties, peoples, cultures, attitudes, and traditions, all while keeping the posters connected in a series. Inspired by travel journals, I landed on a scrapbook style. Each poster has a unique pallet, fonts, and images, yet the layout, motifs and design solutions tie them together. 

Outside of the design process, I connected with community members to make volunteer teams and find event hosts. I supported the hosts in planning dinners, shopping, and budget keeping. I worked with community leaders to plan event dates, and ensure the events served the wider Saint Paul’s religious mission.
