The Evidence

Literature reviews and background research, surveys that capture what the people you serve are thinking, and writing that gives your case solid ground.

The Story

Communications, brand, and design that make your work clear and reflect the capabilities of your organization.

I start with listening.

I ask questions so that I can understand where your organization is, what you want to accomplish, and how you want to get there. Then I build what you need and hand it over finished, ready to use. When you're ready for the next step, we take it on together.

About Jennifer

I've spent more than twenty-five years writing, designing, and planning for people doing good work, from newsrooms to Johns Hopkins to the University of Virginia.

My mission is to work with mission-driven people who are trying to make the world a better place. The credit always stays with you. And the work we do together leaves a lasting mark.

I also do hand embroidery, which is probably why I see my professional work this way.
