Creative Pounds x Vista Love My Local D.C.
In June, I had the opportunity to be featured in Vista’s (formerly VistaPrint) Love My Local D.C. campaign. This campaign consisted of small businesses that are located in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia area. Each business was highlighted in the guide with a description of what we offer and included a custom portrait drawn by artist Joanna Matuck.
Loving my custom portrait drawing!
Each small business owner was invited to Vista’s Owners Only dinner for a launch event for the 7th edition of the Online.Gallery magazine, as well as the Love My Local D.C. brochure. This event took place at Michele’s DC restaurant, located inside of the Eaton Hotel. We all got the opportunity to meet fellow entrepreneurs and network. At the end of the event, we all received a framed copy of our illustration — it was great experience!


This was my second time working with Vista. In November 2021, I participated in the Washington Commanders’ x Black Engagement Network’s Shop Black Holiday Market, sponsored by Vista. This event held during a Monday night football game. It was a great experience and I also got to meet the Commanders’ Team President, Jason Wright.
I am very grateful to be afforded the opportunity to participate in these unique events. Thank you to Vista for choosing and featuring Creative
