Role
Brand and Marketing Catalyst
What do you do?
As a Graphic Design and Marketing Intern, I create visual assets to support both internal and external marketing efforts. My work includes designing branded presentations, one-pagers, promotional graphics, updating the website, creating custom icons, and merchandise such as T-shirts. I ensure that all materials align with brand guidelines and contribute to a cohesive and engaging visual identity across projects.

Website
RISE EmpowerED – Website & Branding
Role: Designer & Brand Developer
RISE Empowered is a developing program dedicated to supporting families through accessible, culturally responsive childcare and early education. I created the visual branding and designed the website to reflect the program’s uplifting and community-driven mission. Built in Canva, the site features intuitive navigation and a clean, welcoming layout that makes information easy to find and engaging to explore. Along with the website, I also developed a suite of branding assets to ensure a cohesive visual identity across digital and print materials.
Meet the Moment
RISE x Philanthropy Virtual Event – Presentation & Toolkit Design
Role: Designer & Content Organizer
For this virtual event hosted by RISE Center for Liberation in ECE, I designed a presentation that guided the session’s discussion on community-rooted childcare and philanthropic collaboration. I organized and formatted key information to ensure a clear, engaging flow that supported both the speakers and audience. In addition to the presentation, I designed a complementary toolkit that served as a practical resource for attendees to reference and apply insights shared during the event.
Amplifying Voices Campaign
Join us for Joy
Amplifying Voices is a story-gathering project that seeks to bring together early childhood providers from key demographics across Chicagoland to share stories about deservingness.
Product Designs
As a designer, I have created a few designs for external-facing products such as our childcare t-shirts and team shirts.
Monthly Booklist
With Rise’s social media manager, I have helped design a series of themed monthly booklists featuring children's books that celebrate and highlight diverse cultures and marginalized communities. Each list is thoughtfully designed to promote inclusivity, cultural awareness, and representation through age-appropriate, engaging literature. This ongoing project supports educators, caregivers, and families in fostering empathy and understanding through storytelling.
