Anniversary Review
In 2023, I had the privilege of crafting the Les Cheneaux Community Foundation’s annual report. This piece highlights the natural beauty of the Les Cheneaux Islands, as the design integrates earthy watercolors and other organic elements to reflect the region’s serene landscape. Balancing a refined professionalism with a deep connection to nature, the report uses these natural motifs to elegantly present data and narratives, creating a harmonious and engaging experience for its readers. This project not only celebrates the foundation’s achievements, but also reinforces their commitment to preserving the unique charm of their community.

LES CHENEAUX COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Annual Report
In this annual report for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan (HDNW), I had the opportunity to bring the theme “And You” to life, emphasizing the crucial connection between the Health Department and the communities it serves. I designed custom icons to highlight key data points and crafted engaging layouts to showcase the department’s success stories and featured programs. My goal was to create a design that not only presents important information clearly but also resonates with the audience on a personal level. This report reflects my commitment to translating complex data into accessible and visually compelling elements, demonstrating how thoughtful design can enhance communication and impact.

Membership Directory
Walloon Lake Association and Conservancy faced the challenge of distributing a vast amount of detailed information in an organized and engaging manner. To address this, I designed an extensive directory that features a detailed member listing and an overview of the association’s mission and annual events. This project effectively solved the problem of information overload by presenting critical data with sophisticated organization and high-quality design execution, ultimately enhancing member engagement and streamlining communication.
