Cobalt Advocates 2020 – Present
Since working with Cobalt Advocates, I’ve had the pleasure of designing for a range of needs. Within two years, all social media platforms grew in followers and interaction. 11% increase on engaged Facebook users, 57.7% increase on Twitter, 500% increase on Tik Tok, and 358.7% increase on Instagram. I’ve worked on video editing for grant proposals and recently have begun managing a Tik Tok team. Along with creating social media content and copy, I designed stickers, yard signs, as well as posters and merchandise for protests, galas, political campaigns, and other events. I have collaborated with web design teams, politicians, non profit organizations, and news outlets.
Social Media: Original Content and Copy
With this client, the ever-changing news cycle means creating quick, factual, and clean social media assets. Graphics shared by actresses Elizabeth Banks and Kuhoo Verma, help elevate Cobalt’s brand as a leader in reproductive rights in and outside of Colorado. Besides news based graphics, other posts are meant to promote and encourage donations to the client’s fund, create conversation like the Don’t Do This post, or participate in internet culture with meme’s centered around the organization’s mission. I also designed the social media toolkit for all organizations involved for the Reproductive Health and Equity Act that passed in spring of 2022 and The Safe Access to Protected Health Care Package that passed in 2023. You can check out Cobalt’s Instagram here.
Merchandise and Political Swag
I wanted to focus on giving the client a fresh viewpoint on merchandise for events like rallies, elections, and general merchandise.
Digital Ads
Created various digital ads for Facebook, SEOs, and websites for numerous campaigns.
Email Marketing
Revived biweekly email newsletter, The Gemstone, that highlights reproductive news across the world. Less than one year later, the emails have raised close to three thousand dollars in donations through EveryAction.
Templates for Stories and Events
Custom designs and templates were created for the team to use for in-person and webinar events to keep branding and style guides tight.
Museum of Contemporary Art Denver 2021
I was approached by the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2021 to create their
B-Side Music T-Shirt. The T-Shirt went on to be one of the highest-selling Artist’s T-Shirts at the museum.
Newman Center for The Performing Arts 2019-2020
At the Newman Center for The Performing Arts, I specialized in growing the brand awareness throughout the University of Denver’s community. Within 9 months the social media presence hit 1,972,691 total impressions: 11% increase on Twitter, 53% increase on Facebook and a 3,444% increase in Instagram reach. During my time at NCPA, I created original content for marketing and social media, free admission tickets for students, along with a praised newsletter.
Show Posters and Social Posts
To promote the upcoming Newman Center season, the client wanted to get more students in attendance. I focused on vibrant colors along with eye-catching collages to stand out among all the other events going on campus. These designs were also used in email and print marketing across the University of Denver’s campus. This season saw a 5% increase in student attendance.
Study Guide – The client wanted an easy-to-read guide for the special year-round student matinee series. This guide was given to all 10 schools that participated in the season.
Email Marketing – To break up the redundant marketing emails, I created the Midweek Boost. This was a weekly email sent off to engage subscribers and donors with content surrounding acts on the Newman Center lineup, as well as Instagram posts that touched on social and political issues. During COVID, the Midweek Boost earned a shout out from 5280 Magazine as a newsletter to subscribe to.
Swallow Hill Music 2017-2018
Swallow Hill Music’s social media was basically nonexistent prior to taking over. This allowed for a lot of growth and experimentation of what would work for the multifaceted nonprofit music school. Within 5 months, I achieved a two-thousand follower increase with new demographics with no additional ad promotion. I focused on building marketing and promotion tactics with social media. The new brand awareness allocated for 20% growth in concert ticket sales and school registration.
Partnered Events – Swallow Hill was in partnership with the Denver Botanic Gardens for their summer concert series. This was one of my last projects for the organization. The inspiration behind these designs was choosing flowers that were in the botanic gardens and matching them with one of the artists on the lineup.
Teacher Spotlight – After hearing that teachers within the music school felt disconnected from the organization and booking future students, I decided to spotlight some teachers in hopes that they book more lessons and feel closer to the organization (and they all saw an increase in their lessons!)
Templates for Social Media – The client wanted a super simple design that stuck to brand guidelines to use throughout the year. Prior to 2017, the organization had not been active on social media which led to low registration numbers for the multiple events that occurred throughout the week. I created these Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter templates. In tandem with the templates, posting frequently led to higher registration numbers and ticket sales.
