Where creativity meets purpose.
Nonprofits and their partners are addressing the most persistent social challenges that affect us all. These issues are complicated, multifaceted, and constantly evolving–making them difficult to explain. Without downplaying the complexity and nuance inherent to cause-based work, I synthesize information and turn it into succinct visual + written messaging.
Featured Clients
Joyful + Sophisticated Graphic Design
My design style blends creativity with sophistication. Design is used not to make things look pretty, but to uplift communities, serve a functionality, and convey a strategic point.
As a designer specializing in serving nonprofits, my approach is driven by human dignity, integrity, and a tremendous sense of responsibility to do good work.
Genuinely Human Copywriting
As a designer + copywriter hybrid, I craft strategy-driven messaging and pair it with good design to tell a unified story.
Specializing in serving organizations that address complex, nuanced, or multifaceted issues, I synthesize intricate concepts into simple communications that quickly resonate with humans.

From my clients...
"The Annual Report demonstrates a strong level of aesthetic intelligence! The consistency of fonts for similar classes of information strike the balance between formality and relatability. The combination of bold and subtle imagery communicates messages about joy, representation, and diversity."
"Strikes the right balance between short bursts of storytelling combined with data to underscore the significance and impact of the organization."
"The content itself is free of industry jargon such that a diverse group of stakeholders could take away similar understandings."
"Really appreciate how clearly feedback was incorporated."
"Exceptional customer service. I appreciated the patience, attention to detail, and timeliness."
Code of Ethics
01. A tremendous sense of responsibility to do good work.
Marketing and communications are put out into the world to guide, inform, and influence. To persuade humans to feel, do, or believe something. This is not a duty to be taken lightly.
02. Not just labor. Counsel.
My job is not only to produce work, but also to evaluate the impact of that work. I am willing to ask why and say no. I don't roll my eyes and stay quiet. I've done the math, listened to feedback, and mastered my niche craft. I am here to guide and advise, not to be a transactional partner.
03. Criticism welcomed.
I encourage criticism– be it from my clients, the public, or other designers. No sass here. As the catalyst for creating better work, feedback is warmly welcomed at every step of the process.
04. Human impact over cleverness.
When communicating about social issues, work is assessed first and foremost by its societal impact, not its cleverness or aesthetic appeal. Messaging that misleads, and imagery that plays on negative perceptions of individuals or groups, cannot be well designed. No matter how clever. No matter how aesthetically pleasing. And no matter how many technical design principles it follows.
