Graphic Designer

I’m a graphic designer with the strategy team, where I design layouts and graphics for strategic plans, annual reports, and other publications. Before I became a designer, I worked in development and volunteer management for a small legal nonprofit. I kept my passion for social justice when I transitioned to a more visually creative career, first as a freelance designer for various nonprofits and now as a designer at Sweet Grass. Drawing on my personal experience with nonprofit data challenges and an academic background in cognitive science, my goal is to use my cross-disciplinary skillset to design reports and informative graphics that are both visually engaging and easy to understand.

Outside of work, I enjoy embroidery and other crafts, baking, spending time with my many pets, and camping in the beautiful wild areas around my Pacific Northwest home.
