Design for Good

I served for a year in the AmeriCorps Vista volunteer program and built my career on a foundation of service. Today I use a purpose-driven and impact-centric business model to make the world a better place by serving organizations through visual storytelling. I aim to level the playing field for select non-profits in need of full-service expert graphic design talent without the resources for an in-house designer.

For more than a decade, I have collaborated with organizations to craft distinct visual identities for their diverse audiences who need to understand the mission. I have driven success for these organizations through print and digital creative assets that always balance beauty and efficacy.

My visual storytelling and artistic peacemaking has taken me from refugee camps in the Middle East to Washington, D.C., and has built a perspective that deeply influences the way I approach art and complex visual solutions through meaningful design, connection, and story. In my uniquely global-minded, transformational work, I become a partner in mission and storytelling. I’m committed to helping you propel your organization and work from where you are to where you want to be. Let’s tell your good story together.

I partner with non-profits and small businesses with heart on a project or VIP Day(s) basis through the following methods of visual storytelling:

  • Visual branding + logo design (new branding and refreshes)

  • Grant proposals

  • Partner impact reports

  • Branded marketing materials (business cards, stationery, brochures, program one-sheets, etc.)

  • Event collateral + program signage

  • Digital/social media campaigns

  • Art direction + pitch decks for documentary or commercial film, photo, and publication

  • Intricate maps (I’m a total cartophile!)

  • Also, check out my visual storytelling services for photography and publication design.


Pricing

Pricing hinges on many factors including project scope, expertise required, and value of the deliverables. Here are the two ways I work as a full-service designer:

  1. Project-based contracts (hourly or flat fee)

  2. VIP Day bookings (book me for one or two back-to-back days and we’ll meet a defined design need in a condensed sprint)


DIGITAL CAMPAIGNS

I help organizations create fundraising, awareness, and partnership marketing campaigns across social media platforms.


GRANT PROPOSALS & IMPACT REPORTS

I help non-profits transform basic documents into professional proposals and impact reports to leave an impression that keeps the funds coming.


DIGITAL & PRINT SIGNAGE

Project Highlight: Times Square Billboard

Designed the art for Operation Homefront’s Veterans Day billboard in NYC’s Times Square.


LOGO & BRAND IDENTITY

I provide visual branding and logo services to organizations developing a new logo or brand, or refreshing an existing one.
