Mass Eye & Ear 200 Anniversary
While contracting with a boutique agency specializing in nonprofit work, I served as project lead for Mass Eye and Ear’s 200th Anniversary. I designed distinctive invitation suites, social media graphics, and large-scale graphics throughout key areas of the hospital, creating an immersive experience that reflected the spirit of celebration and gratitude while supporting the anniversary’s critical fundraising mission. The year culminated in a 200th Anniversary Gala, where I oversaw event design, environmental graphics and signage, event materials, and presentation design. This visual language carried seamlessly into the annual Philanthropy Report, creating a cohesive donor experience across every touchpoint—and helping support a milestone celebration that raised more than $2 million.
GCI Outdoor
Working with a boutique agency, I served as lead designer for GCI Outdoor’s rebrand and evergreen brand assets. We began with extensive market research, exploring consumer trends, the evolving retail and wholesale landscape, and detailed audience personas. Working closely with stakeholders, I helped evolve the brand in a way that honored its existing identity while creating a more modern, innovative, and relevant experience for today’s consumers.
Cushing Academy
I worked on a range of high-level materials for the Advancement Team at Cushing Academy, including annual reports, magazines, welcome campaigns, and campus signage and maps—supporting and engaging a wide spectrum of Cushing stakeholders.
Boston College
As Senior Art Director and Lead Designer for Boston College’s prestigious advancement events, I created cohesive experiences spanning event identities, invitations, donor recognition, presentations, and environmental design. Highlights included the Wall Street Council Tribute Dinner, which raised more than $3.5 million, and stewardship materials recognizing transformational gifts of $500,000+.

As the Marketing and Event Chair for my town's family connection group, I rebranded the organization and designed almost all marketing and communication pieces including brochures, social media templates, event design, fundraising efforts, and sponsorship opportunities.
Social finance
For Social Finance, a national impact finance and advisory nonprofit, I handled the art direction for their new brand collateral. I also designed their latest book co-written by Governor Charlie Baker and multiple other publications like their annual reports and Google-funded research projects.
Mass law reform institute
I partner with the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute to bring their mission and impact to life through annual reports and fundraising appeals. By turning complex advocacy work into clear, compelling stories, I help connect donors to the people and communities their support makes possible.
b.e.s. (build. excel. sustain.)
For b.e.s. I helped design multiple campaigns and publications like their annual report. Helping such an impactful organization was extremely meaningful for me.
CU Presents
CU Presents is the home of performing arts of University of Colorado. Hundreds of concerts, plays, recitals and more each year. I worked on branding, campaigns, and event materials. The largest campaign I worked on helped corporate sponsorship reach a new level of funding.
EXPLO
For EXPLO (Exploration Learning), a leader in education innovation, I was in charge of all design elements - including 3 new websites, direct mail and digital campaigns, environmental design on campus and at headquarters, and updated color and graphic themes to promote 3 new campuses. I worked closely with the CMO and department heads to turn the education brand into a lifestyle brand that appealed to a wider audience.
*All EXPLO materials belong to Exploration Learning.
EXPLO Online
EXPLO Online was a product that came together in less than 2 months when EXPLO decided to offer online programming in 2020. It required it's own interactive website with e-commerce and portal, new display and email campaigns, and package/product design, all of which I created. It helped carry the brand to a new audience, protected potential lost revenue, expanded into a new medium (including rebuilding campuses in Minecraft), and sold out almost every week.
Center for effective philanthropy (CEP)
CEP helps large foundations become more effective with data and insight given through analysis, events, and research. I redesigned the brand and helped it move to a more streamlined, modern, and confident look. One of the primary goals of this rebranding was to highlight the naming convention CEP and take the brand and its product into a more digital experience.
Natixis investment managers
As a contract Art Director for Natixis, I lead the design of major social campaigns (paid and organic), report visuals and promotion, and event branding and materials.
youth truth
YouthTruth uses school data and insight to help educators accelerate improvements in K–12 schools and classrooms. I redesigned their brand to help them stand out from competitors, become more visible to funders, and appeal to a wider audience around the country.
leading effective foundations
Leading Effective Foundations is CEP's annual conference. In 2017 it was held in Boston at the Intercontinental with over 400 top foundation executives from around the world. I created the branding, campaigns, event materials, website, and environmental design for the event.
Colorado Shakespeare Festival
The Colorado Shakespeare Festival is a professional acting company that is the oldest of its kind in the US. I worked on their branding, appeals, and marketing for each season for over 10 years with slight revamping every 3 years.
Waltham Food, Wine & Craft Beer
I was the design chair for the Waltham Food & Wine for 10 years and helped the event grow to include craft beer which widened the audience and invited new partnerships. I also helped the fundraiser evolve to include self-promotion by bringing the event back into the museum to sell the museum itself as events space (where 85% of the museum's revenue comes from).
More Brands
A few other brands I've designed - biotech consultants, to community nonprofits, to acupuncture clinics and real estate firms.
