I design visuals that scale: blending creativity, strategy, and modern tools to build brands that last.
DIGITAL GRAPHICS – Development & Design
Digital Awareness Campaign – “Get Involved. Give Back. Take Action.” (2025)
Designed a suite of responsive digital ads promoting volunteer and donor initiatives. Created multiple aspect ratios for use across web and social platforms, maintaining brand consistency and accessibility through bold typography, strong color contrast, and adaptable layouts.
TOOLS: Illustrator
Workplace Campaign e-Certificates Template – Campaign Appreciation (2025)
Developed a customizable e-certificate to recognize companies after a workplace giving campaign. Designed for consistent use across departments/skill levels, maintaining brand integrity through clean typography, balanced color, and alignment with the annual workplace campaign concept.
TOOLS: Illustrator, Canva (to host template for editing)
EMAIL – Development, Design & Content Strategy
Annual Campaign – click here to view the email (2025)
Redesigned the email header and layout for a major annual campaign. The refreshed design improved visual hierarchy and accessibility while maintaining brand integrity — resulting in an 8% higher open rate year-over-year. The layout was adopted as the official campaign template.
TOOLS: Constant Contact, Illustrator
Newsletters – click here to view the email (2025)
Managed end-to-end creation of the organization’s bi-monthly flagship newsletter: curating content, prioritizing stories, drafting copy, and designing all graphics. Implemented link tracking and UTM parameters for analytics, ensuring insights could guide future communications.
The refreshed layout and editorial structure led to a 6% improvement in open rate compared to the previous year, and the format has since been adopted as a standard for subsequent campaigns.
TOOLS: Constant Contact, Illustrator, ChatGPT
PRINT – Development & Design
Charleston Regional Business Journal Giving Guide Print Ad – Strong Families, Strong Communities (2025)
Designed a print ad for the Charleston Regional Business Journal’s Giving Guide to promote the Strong Families, Strong Community Initiative. Adapted campaign concept into a clean, high-impact layout to spoke directly to local business leaders and donors.
TOOLS: Illustrator
Workplace Giving Annual Campaign – Supercharge Our Community Battery (2025)
Redesigned the classic fundraising “thermometer” into a bold, modern battery concept to symbolize energy, progress, and community impact. Used generative AI to develop the initial battery illustration, then refined and composited it with custom vector elements and typography to align with branding. The result is a dynamic, on-brand design that updates a traditional nonprofit visual for today’s audiences.
TOOLS: Illustrator, Adobe Firefly
The Bottom Line: I am a creative, strategic, and adaptable designer who blends modern visual storytelling, brand consistency, and emerging tools like generative AI to craft cohesive, impactful campaigns across digital and print.
