The Foundation is the only public nonprofit charity in the United States that is focused exclusively on foster care adoption.

Being the Foundations first and only in-house graphic designer led to creating out a lot of work quickly. Starting with small tweaks to the brand and big refresh of the website. Working closely with every team to ensure each have what’s needed when partnering, presenting or fundraising. From appeal mailings and emails, social media graphics, powerpoint templates, video graphics, annual reports and more. I also helped the marketing team kick off the long awaited DTFA Store with apparel designs and site creation.

National Adoption Day is a collective effort to raise awareness of children waiting to be adopted from foster care in the U.S.

I had the privilege of working with the coalition in rebranding a day that is celebrated throughout the country every year. To help with the celebrations I created downloadable resources, including posters, social images, letterhead, order forms, and a planning toolkit. Along with this came the challenge of creating a website and user experience that made registering, finding, and planning an event easier.

This is a conference held every year for education leaders and others from across the country to come together and explore ways to improve rural education.

I worked on this conference for years before having the exciting opportunity to rebrand. With a refreshed color palette, logo and branding materials, including brochures, flyers, signage, social images, and eblasts, it was always fun juggling the multiple pieces of this event with each new deadline up until the big day and beyond.

The owner reached out in need of various pieces including bow/bow tie hangtags, shirt/price tags, and ongoing t-shirt designs. Of course, I couldn’t turn down anything to do with dogs.

While working at Battelle for Kids I had a fun project to help prepare students for college, career, and life.

I also led the development of a cost efficient printing and packaging process.

I worked with OLAC for many years and always heard the same issue, their logo was not legible. I was able to help refresh the logo, and offered a new color palette. With the new look I created branding materials, including event programs, flyers, social media and website images, eblasts, and module graphics.
