The daughter of a graphic designer, I grew up playing with Photoshop on the spare computer in my mom's office. In college, I taught myself how to use InDesign while preparing research presentations for costume design. I put these skills to work at the Vermont Community Foundation creating graphics for social media, editing images, mocking up small advertisements, tweaking HTML and CSS on websites and in Constant Contact, creating clean print versions of e-newsletters for snail-mail-bound donors, and managing graphic designers and printers to create event invitations, brochures, and other collateral materials. Samples of my work can be found below.

The following is a tri-fold self-mailer which was sent to supporters of the Food and Farm Initiative. I was responsible for nearly all of the writing, editing, image selection, and conceptual work involved in creating the final product. Credit for the graphic design itself goes to May Mantell.
