Good design is rarely the thing people consciously notice. It’s the feeling a piece of content gives you before you’ve even read it. The sense that something is considered, intentional, and put together by someone who actually understood the brand behind it. That’s what I’m going for every time.
Design, for me, is an extension of voice. The same way your writing should sound like you, your visuals should feel like you. The colors, the spacing, the fonts, the way something sits on a page or a screen. All of it sends a message before a single word is read, and I think that’s worth taking seriously.
I’m confident with design and I enjoy it, though I’ll be honest with you, it sits alongside my other services rather than standing alone. Where I think I’m especially strong is in creating visual content that feels cohesive, on brand, and accessible, the kind of design that holds everything together and makes your communications feel like they came from the same place.
Accessibility matters here too. I design with screen reader compatibility, high-contrast palettes, and readable typography in mind, because content that looks beautiful but excludes people isn’t doing its job.
What I can help you with:
Social media graphics, email campaign visuals, digital publications, promotional materials, eBooks, guides, curriculum design, and visual content that feels consistent with your brand across every platform.
From my portfolio:
OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation: I created visual content across social media, email campaigns, and digital publications for OneSpirit, keeping everything consistent with their warm, inclusive, and spiritually grounded identity.
Ordination & Graduation Ceremony Invitations
Digital Ceremony Invitations — OneSpirit
A set of three invitation designs created for the OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation’s 2023 Ordination and Graduation Ceremony. Each design interprets the same event brief through a distinct visual style, from a bold sage and terracotta palette with watercolor botanicals, to a refined linen-toned design with hand-drawn florals, to an elegant script-led layout with soft ginkgo leaf watercolors.
The suite demonstrates range in typographic approach and aesthetic tone while maintaining a consistent sense of warmth and ceremony across all three pieces.
Ordination & Graduation Ceremony Programs
Class of 2024 & Class of 2025 — OneSpirit
Two annual ceremony programs produced for OneSpirit’s Ordination and Graduation ceremonies, each serving as both a functional order of service and a keepsake for ordinands and their guests. The 2024 program uses a soft neutral palette with watercolour shapes and gold star motifs for an elegant, ceremonial feel. The 2025 Sylvan program takes a more immersive, nature-led direction, an atmospheric landscape cover, watercolour pine trees and birds in flight, and earthy tones throughout, reflecting the class name and OneSpirit’s connection to the natural world.
International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES): A significant part of my role at IFES was graphic design. I designed numerous published digital toolkits, promotional materials, curriculum, eBooks, invitations, and guides in support of their Youth and Disability portfolios. I also created campaign materials for CEPPS, the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening, a premier USAID partner formed by IFES, IRI, and NDI, working to strengthen democratic institutions, human rights, and governance worldwide. Designing for an organization operating at that scale, on issues that genuinely matter, is work I’m really proud of.
Youth SPACE eBook
Youth Engagement Training — IFES
A training booklet designed for the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) to support young civic leaders across Papua New Guinea. The publication guides youth mobilizers through leadership, ethical communication, voter education, and community engagement ahead of the June 2022 elections.
The design uses a warm, accessible color palette drawn from the IFES brand identity, with bold typography, inclusive illustration, and a clear visual hierarchy to make content approachable for a diverse audience. Accessibility was a core consideration throughout, from layout and language choices to the representation of different identities and abilities across all illustrated characters.
Youth-Led Nonformal Civic Education
A Guide for Young Leaders — IFES
A comprehensive guidebook designed for the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) to support youth-led civic education efforts globally. The publication equips young leaders with practical tools for digital advocacy, community mobilization, and electoral participation.
The design uses a bold navy and sky blue color palette drawn from the IFES brand identity, with strong typographic hierarchy, custom iconography, and a mix of photography and illustrated layouts. Pages were designed to accommodate diverse content formats, from multi-column text and callout boxes to photo-led spreads, while maintaining visual consistency throughout.
Digital Advocates: Mobilizing Action through Social Media
Guide for Advocates — IFES / USAID / AYON
A social media advocacy guidebook produced in partnership with IFES, USAID, and the Association of Youth Organizations Nepal (AYON). The publication guides young Nepali advocates through planning and executing a social media campaign, covering goal-setting, audience mapping, platform selection, content creation, and online safety.
The design uses a deep forest green and cream color palette, with a clean, editorial layout that balances text-heavy instructional content with custom diagrams, real-world social media examples, and illustrations. The recurring thought-bubble motif and hand-held phone graphic tie the visual language together throughout, reinforcing the guidebook’s focus on digital action.
Inclusive Digital Advocacy Toolkit
Executive Summary — IFES
An executive summary for IFES’s Inclusive Digital Advocacy Toolkit, designed to support civil society organizations and advocates in building digital advocacy skills for civic and political engagement. The toolkit takes an intersectional approach, with particular attention to people from multiple marginalized groups, and covers everything from campaign planning and online safety to social media strategy and government engagement.
The design uses a bold, warm palette of burnt orange, teal, and yellow, with large organic shapes, vibrant illustration, and clear typographic hierarchy. The layout balances accessibility with visual energy, reflecting the toolkit’s inclusive ethos, diverse characters are represented throughout, and the overall aesthetic feels approachable and action-oriented.
CEPPS Youth Voices for Democracy Roundtable
Promotional graphics — USAID / CEPPS
The layout pairs a speaker headshot with bold headline text to draw attention to the key message. The color scheme is drawn directly from the CEPPS brand identity, creating a cohesive and professional look. Typography is used deliberately – larger, bolder text for the headline and supporting details in a lighter weight to establish clear visual hierarchy.
Why work with me:
I work across Canva and Canva Pro, Procreate, iMovie, CapCut, and Adobe Photoshop. I bring an eye for detail, a strong sense of brand consistency, and an accessibility-first approach to everything I create. My background in inclusion and Section 508 standards means I think about who your content is reaching and whether it’s truly working for all of them.
