I am a Senior Visual Designer with 20+ years of experience translating strategy, content, and data into clear, structured visual systems across digital, print, and environmental platforms. I collaborate across marketing, communications, development, writers, and vendors to deliver brand identities, data visualizations, and campaign assets that improve clarity, engagement, and fundraising outcomes. I have supported campaigns that increased email engagement, event attendance, and campaign interaction by 15–30%, and I develop donor-facing materials for six- and seven-figure fundraising goals. I extend brand systems into reports, signage, exhibitions, and events to ensure consistency and adoption across teams and partners. I apply classical design principles—precision, hierarchy, grid systems, and typographic structure—to deliver usable, accessible visuals. I thrive in cross-functional, remote, and hybrid environments, delivering high-quality work on multiple concurrent projects.
