The Lymphoma Research Foundation set out to evolve its brand to better reflect both its scientific leadership and its deep commitment to patients and community. As Associate Creative Director, I translated this vision into a cohesive brand system and multi-channel storytelling ecosystem, leading 10+ campaigns annually. I improved team workflows by introducing new systems for collaboration and led the reimagining of the Foundation’s support services network, launching the Lymphoma Resource Center as a more human, accessible resource for patients navigating complex care journeys.

Starting in early 2020, pandemic-era hate crimes against Asian Americans surged, with race-based bullying reaching record levels in California by 2022. As creative lead at Media Cause, I partnered with the California Youth Advisory Council to launch Right Our Story, a multi-channel campaign empowering middle and high school students to share experiences, report bullying, and take action online and offline. The campaign combined a private peer community, an anonymous reporting tool, a comprehensive resource guide, an animated educational short, influencer content, local partnerships, and in-person events. Results included 232 million impressions across California, 8.4 million clicks on paid social and programmatic ads, 602,000 unique website visitors, 166,000 social engagements, 9,111 youth community members, and 1,804 bullying stories submitted. The initiative earned a Shorty Award for Best Multi-Cause Initiative and a MarCom Award in Strategic Communications.

Uncommon Schools operates exceptional urban public schools that close the opportunity gap and prepare students from low-income communities to graduate from college. For their 2024 enrollment campaign, we developed “You Belong at Uncommon” to build brand awareness and attract future students and families. The campaign highlighted real students in authentic situations, paired with data-driven statements about what Uncommon Schools offers. The initiative was highly effective, resulting in a 15% increase in enrollment.

The Center for American Progress an independent nonpartisan policy institute that is dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, and concerted action. The climate campaign targeted six states in the U.S. who represent markedly different political climates to inspire audiences to learn about the For The People Act (S.1.) and help them understand that unrigging democracy is the most important step in advancing sensible legislation, including climate action. The main goal of this campaign was signature acquisition around S.1. – applying pressure on key targets and senators to support S.1. before it went to a vote. The art direction utilized each state’s outline as a window to the state-specific threats of climate change.

The Tipping Point Community is a nonprofit, grantmaking organization dedicated to advancing the most promising poverty-fighting solutions. My team at Media Cause joined their Chronic Homelessness Initiative as their strategic and creative partner for the All In Campaign to mobilize San Franciscans around solutions to homelessness. It Ends With Why is an awareness campaign that asks SF residents to approach their city, neighbors, and themselves with the same inquisitiveness we all held when we were kids—to ask why—in order to realize that the most impactful solutions to help those around us are already within our reach.

Massachusetts was among the hardest hit states economically by COVID-19. My Local MA was a statewide initiative launched by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism to encourage MA residents to shop locally and support the small businesses who were struggling to stay afloat. The website for the campaign served as a resource hub where small business owners could download a variety of branded assets to help identify themselves within the community as locally owned. It also supplied residents with instagram stickers, facebook filters and badges to create awareness and organic movement within their social circles. The campaign launch and holiday phase were both successful in creating awareness, driving sales, and establishing partnerships across the state with industry groups that don’t typically don't work together. Each phase consisted of posters, billboards, OLA, paid & organic social and radio.

Community Servings is a not-for-profit food and nutrition program providing services throughout Massachusetts to individuals and families living with critical and chronic illnesses.
Each November since 1993, Community Servings holds one of the largest bake sales in the United States, Pie In The Sky. More than a fundraiser, Pie in the Sky fosters community spirit and engages the public in the mission of Community Servings. Each pie costs $30, which provides a week's worth of nutritious home-delivered meals to a critically ill neighbor in need.

I had the pleasure of working with Community Servings to create all of the marketing materials for Pie In The Sky 2017 & 2018 including website graphics, animated digital billboards, posters and flyers. In 2017 we set the record-breaking goal of selling 25,000 pies in honor of the event's 25th Anniversary. After months of hard work and an abundance of community support, we reached our goal and raised over $818,000.

The Visionaria Network creates learning opportunities for young women in low-income areas in the Cusco - sacred valley region, so that they may become confident leaders in their own specific area of interest. I have been volunteering with Visionaria since September 2016.
