Creating Ideas for Impact

partnering with non-profits and artists to drive missions and art forward

Hello ~ 

 

Your mission and vision are uniquely yours and especially significant, so your narrative should be as well!  

 

As a savvy and strategic storyteller, I support passionate entities by creating ideas for maximum impact, and using simple solutions, I craft powerful marketing tools - websites, newsletters, email campaigns, appeal letters, grant proposals, impact reports, presentations, social media posts, and more - to engage your audience, build your community, and reinforce growth.  

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

With a special emphasis on mission-driven organizations, I help non-profits achieve goals related to strategic marketing and fundraising communication, digital presence, and donor expansion.  By providing creative support with website design, newsletters, and marketing tools - such as email campaigns and social media content - and written support with appeal letters, feature articles, newsletters, and grants, my clients rely on my ability to craft clear, compelling content that drives engagement and supports long-term development goals.  

 

My client portfolio reflects a wide range of missions and organizational scales, from grassroots nonprofits with operating budgets under $1 million to well-established institutions exceeding $5 million. I adapt my approach to meet each organization’s unique needs, ensuring that strategy, messaging, and deliverables are aligned with their capacity, voice, and vision. This flexibility allows me to support a diverse array of causes while delivering consistent quality and impact across all engagements.

ARTISTS

As a supporter of the arts, I can help elevate your presence through strategic marketing tools designed to showcase your work and connect with wider audiences. This includes developing a professional website that highlights your portfolio, biography, and upcoming events, ensuring your online presence reflects the uniqueness of your art. I can also assist with promotional efforts such as targeted social media campaigns, email newsletters, and press outreach to increase visibility and engagement. By combining thoughtful branding with effective digital tools, my goal is to help you grow your audience, attract opportunities, and focus more fully on your creative process.

Please feel free to reach out to share your ideas and discuss your goals.

Warmly,

Let's Make A Creative Connection

With a degree in non-profit management paired with corporate marketing and non-profit executive leadership, as well as my own entrepreneurial experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my clients.

 

Since the 90s, I have been developing marketing tools while watching the trends move from print to digital platforms, as we now learn how to incorporate AI developments. 

 

Coupled with being a visual creative, I'm also a professional writer who possesses a rich composing background for blogs, articles, newsletters, grant proposals, impact reports, fundraising appeals, technical instructions, cover letters, resumes, and consulting for academics and college application essays.  I was honored during the pandemic when one of my online blog articles was published in the Oregonian newspaper.  

I currently work with a variety of non-profit organizations and talented artists and would love to make a creative connection with you.
