EMHE Johnson Family
This is a post I'm creating and adding in because I realized I never even mentioned the other family I did work with through EMHE. It Aired October 10 on ABC.
Eric and Elaine Johnson -- along with their five flamboyant and fashion-loving daughters who range in age from 5 to 14 years -- were just having a fun time at a local Houston comedy club. Then design team leader Ty Pennington came out, inviting the unsuspecting family to join him onstage, and told them that they would be the latest recipients of a home makeover. Later on, the excitement continued to build as the red carpet was rolled out and all of the volunteers, builders and celebrity volunteers came to the Johnson family home for a comedy roast. The Johnsons had planned to transform their run-down house, but the one-two punch of 2008's Hurricane Ike and the economic downturn put that dream on hold.
Both Eric and Elaine have dedicated their lives to rescuing family life and marriage. As Eric observed the African American community being overpowered by a seeming epidemic of family disintegration, he became passionate about African American fathers stepping up to play a larger role in their children's lives. The Johnsons began a marriage and family counseling non-profit called Optimum Lifestyle, with the goal of strengthening marriages in fun, creative ways. Their couples' seminars have possibly saved 1500 marriages and kept countless kids from growing up in single-parent homes. Eric and Elaine continued their mission while living in their dangerously dilapidated house. Now the "EM: HE" design team can help make their home safe and sound -- and most importantly -- match the delight and happiness that lives within it.
I didn't design a room or wall treatment this time. Instead I did Identity Packages for the family. 3 logos, business cards, and a few other tid-bits.
