Carol's watercolors are precise, carefully composed, and masterfully executed. I wanted her logo to show the world she means business.

Marie's paintings are organic, lyrical, and oftentimes playful. I used a bird shape from one of her paintings and a cursive font to reference the flow of her brushstrokes, and combined it with colorful candy-shaped letters to incorporate her playful side.

April Child Abuse Prevention Campaign Social Media Post
The Washtenaw Child Advocacy Center (WCAC)asked me to create billboards and a bus ad for their April (Child Abuse Awareness Month) campaign. The egregious abuses committed by Larry Nasser on young gymnasts were fresh in the news, and many voiced concerns about children not being believed or heard when an adult harms them. This faultline became our simple campaign logo, "Listen. Believe." Pairing that with close-ups of children's faces, I wanted to create an unavoidable confrontation with the injustice of child exploitation.

For Catholic Social Services of Washtenaw County's year-end-giving campaign, dubbed the "Good Samaritan Campaign," I recalled that the New Testament parable of the Good Samaritan was prompted by the question, "Who is my neighbor?" So I created a simple narrative arc to encompass this question, reminding donors that we are, in fact, our brothers' keepers.

For Child Abuse Prevention month, a caseworker at Catholic Social Services of Washtenaw County wrote an article about how to identify and stop child abuse. To promote the article, I created artwork that incorporated a blue pinwheel, the national symbol for child abuse prevention.
