For the last eight years, KapaldoDesign has been working with educational nonprofits. Most of our work has been for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Museum. We have worked on museum exhibits like Illegal Drugs in America, DEA: Air, Land & Sea, Target America: Opening Eyes to the Damage Drugs Cause, and most recently Good Medicine, Bad Behavior. For these exhibits and others, we have designed everything from print collateral–brochures, indoor/outdoor banner signs, direct mailings, exhibit opening invites, and fundraising collateral–to websites for these exhibits and others.
In addition to working for the DEA Museum, we have also worked for religious organizations including Hope Christian Church and other nonprofits including Special Brothers and the DEA Educational Foundation.
Our print and web design has improved over the years. This past year, we have shifted our focus to web. We feel it is important to provide educational organizations and nonprofits with the best web design to promote their message. If your educational or nonprofit organization needs a website or any other design service, please contact us.
