Collaboration with Gary Sheng & Alpha Schools
Current Project (June 14th Alpha Schools Event):
- Deliverables: Repurposing and resizing existing poster and landscape designs previously created for Gary/Alpha Schools. Providing high-quality digital files.
- Khoa: "Yeah, the poster, that's easy because that's already worked on. I'll just have to do some resizing."
- Potential Additional Designs: Suggested creating sticker designs, contingent on printing vendor lead times. Willing to provide designs for future printing if immediate production isn't feasible.
- Logo Usage: Will use the existing Alpha Schools logo; a larger rebrand is a separate, longer-term project.
- Budget: Khoa will provide a rate for the requested design work.
- Timeline: Work needed for June 14th event (approximately 1.5 weeks from conversation date).

He has a portfolio of existing work for Gary/Alpha Schools and is positioned as a reliable partner for immediate design needs for the June 14th event.
