DESIGN IS AN IMMENSELY POWERFUL WAY OF THINKING.
Design can spark our imaginations, prompting changes in our perspectives and behaviors. Design allows the voice of the few to impact many.

DESIGN FOR NONPROFIT
I offer affordable design services to nonprofits because I want to help create positive change in the world. Purpose-driven nonprofits are on the front line of social change, raising awareness of how we can take better care of our planet and each other.

I'm excited to learn about your organization's goals and discuss how I can amplify your message and impact.

SERVICES
- Logo
- Branding
- Brand refresh
- Website
- Handouts or printed material
- Design consultation

Every engagement will include a style guide to ensure your organization can maintain the quality and integrity of the design once the project is complete. 

TO QUALIFY
1) An established nonprofit organization.

2) A young or new nonprofit.

You'll need a high-level decision maker who will be the primary point of contact for the project. The decision maker will be involved throughout the entire design process and must be prepared to attend meetings (in person or online), ask questions, offer feedback and be the liaison between the organization’s staff and myself. For the project to be successful, it is crucial for the decision maker to be a partner in developing the timeline and keeping the project aligned with the organization’s mission statement and creative brief.

If your organization or point of contact is outside of the US, that's ok! During our kick off we'll discuss the best options for communication and file sharing.

DESIGN PROCESS

Discovery
We will have a kick off to discover your needs, budget, parameters, timing, and other logistics—and most importantly, we'll get to know each other!

Design
I'll begin the process with research of your organization and others like it. I'll also review the material given to me during the kick off.

I will explore and create 3 design directions. Once a direction is chosen we'll have 3 rounds of reviews.

Hand off
At the end of the project I will hand off final files and assets. During this time we will discuss if you will need continued service for the current project, or if you have other projects to kick off.

Consultations might for be for you if...
