Help for a non-profit: Women’s weaving initiative

Cooperativa Tejidos Cotzal is a women’s weaving initiative in a remote area of Guatemala. I supported this group of tough amazing women for 3 months with my skills and helped them to market their traditionally backstrap woven products.

New bag designs

Together, we developed new shapes and styles of bags that extended their offering at the time. We also created product tags that highlighted their maker. For this, I took headshots of each of the women.

Product photography and catalog design

I took photos of each product type in order to help them present their products to new potential sellers, but also to organise and memorise their inventory.

Promotion

In order to promote their products and attract more visitors, I created posters that represent their activities and also started a Facebook page that has gained many followers over the years. Below is a flyer that was designed to be handed out to tourists.
