Illinois Made

A group of us at JWT Chicago launched Illinois Made as a way for the Illinois Office of Tourism to feature local makers and artisans who add their own unique flavor to Illinois. We had no idea at the time that Illinois Made would become such a huge program, with three Illinois governors designating over 250 Illinois Made destinations around the state.

My role was to find Illinois Makers and bring their stories to life in short videos. I interviewed each Maker on set, and then oversaw video direction and editing.
