As the Art Director and creative lead, I spearheaded design strategy and creative development for national campaigns and volunteer initiatives, producing a cohesive suite of promotional, incentive, and merchandise materials. Through illustration, apparel, and graphic design, I elevated engagement and reinforced brand connection across diverse audiences and platforms.

Promotional materials lacked a unified, emotionally compelling visual identity, limiting volunteer participation and fundraising impact. The objective was to create adaptable, scalable visuals that inspired action while maintaining brand integrity and authenticity.
