As the Senior Creative Director for the most prominent women’s health care and advocacy non-profit in the country, I built and led a centralized and talented internal creative team of 15 video producers, animators, photographers, designers and illustrators. I work closely with copywriters and digital strategists, as well as external agencies to tell our brand story through innovative, creative campaigns and brand content. In my tenure, I established substantive brand guidelines and creative standards adopted across the national Federation and Action Fund; led the creative strategy for integrated health care, marketing, education and electoral campaigns; and redefined storytelling for our national organization to be authentic, relevant and responsive to attacks on health care and women's autonomy.
