Maccabi

As part of the team at Fireman Creative, I helped design and build the official single-page website for the 2025 JCC Maccabi Games, hosted at the University of Pittsburgh. The project required honoring the JCC's existing brand guidelines while introducing a bold, celebratory energy inspired by the event's official logo, designed by Pittsburgh pop art icon Burton Morris.

Creating Graphics

My primary focus was creating a suite of custom graphics that fused pop art aesthetics with real photography — producing stylized illustrations of iconic Pittsburgh landmarks including the Cathedral of Learning, the Roberto Clemente Bridge, and Dippy the Dinosaur. These were developed in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

Wireframing

I also built wireframes in Figma and presented them to the JCCPGH for stakeholder review, helping align the creative direction early in the process. Additionally, I contributed to the concept for a live countdown clock featured on the homepage to build anticipation leading up to the August event.

Deliverable

From there, I assisted with building the site in Elementor and remained the point person for ongoing maintenance and client-requested updates after launch.
