Capital Campaign Donor Wall

Our clients and co-founders, Ara and Leslie Bagdasarian, parents of two children with disabilities and motivated by the uncertain future for their children when they were no longer able to care for them, embarked on a journey to create an independent-living solution for them and other families in similar situations. After nearly a decade in the making, Solon Community Living officially opened in 2025. As a safe, sustainable, and community-accessible housing option, it provides a unique lifestyle for individuals to live independently within a pocket neighborhood located in the city of Solon, Ohio. We created a donor wall exhibit for the lobby of their Clubhouse featuring 92 generous donors who contributed $5,000 and above to the $3.5 million Capital Campaign. The use of various dimensional house silhouettes, mixed metals, and type sizes differentiate the gift levels without calling out the monetary amounts. The result was a design that communicates warmth and gratitude to those that helped build this special community that provides a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
