Reingold is passionate about effecting social change. For 30 years, we’ve worked with many worthy causes to raise awareness, change behavior, and inspire action—delivering meaningful and measurable results. We’re a private sector firm with a public service soul. As a senior designer at Reingold, I work to visually tell the stories of our clients. My portfolio encompasses reports, logos, event design, presentations and other print/digital materials. I am passionate about blending my love for design with the strategic thinking behind a successful communications. I strive to go above and beyond as I push creative thinking as the foundation for problem solving and idea generation in my work. Some of my notable client work includes: - American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD): In addition to designing print/digital materials for AASLD, I am the Art Director and lead designer for their annual conference of over 10,000 attendees, The Liver Meeting. Since 2017, I have worked with my internal team and external vendors to create the look/feel for their conference and incorporate it into all meeting materials including brochures, exhibit booths, column wraps, promotional materials and digital ads.- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Information and Technology (OIT): As the lead designer for OIT from 2015-2016 I balanced various unique projects while working quickly and adaptively to tight deadlines. I created branding direction which I incorporated in presentations, factsheets, logos, data dashboards and reports. I also served as an event photographer. - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Mental Health Services: I help support VA's national outreach efforts to raise public awareness about suicide prevention and mental health resources through graphic design support for resources including Make the Connection and Veterans Crisis Line.
