    FIRST 500 | Digital Activism Campaign

    Black women make up less than 1% of licensed architects in the United States, and the non-profit organization FIRST 500 needed a better way to raise public awareness and professional visibility for them. To help fix this, I researched the organization’s digital media footprint to find exactly where their public materials and visibility strategies were falling short. Based on that research, I independently created a 5-part digital graphic campaign. I used clear text scaling and layout to highlight key information, making sure the final materials directly addressed the visibility gaps and helped these architects get the public recognition they deserve.

    Information Designer for First Time Home Buying | Long & Foster Real Estate

    Buying or selling a home involves a lot of paperwork, legal steps, and industry terms that can easily overwhelm first-time clients. This confusion often forces agents to repeat the same long explanations over and over again during onboarding. To solve this, I worked with a senior real estate agent to list the most common questions and communication issues clients faced. I took those repetitive explanations and turned them into four educational infographics that break down the home buying and selling process into clear, manageable stages. These reusable visual resources give clients a direct, step-by-step guide to their real estate journey and save time for the agent.
