Raising Awareness with Data-Rich Designs 

I love thinking of ways to make data-rich materials accessible and engaging. As a designer for both AIDS Action Committee and Fenway Health, I worked on many infographics to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, PrEP, and more. We shared these infographics in community newsletters, our blogs, and on social media. On occasion, the press, including Huffington Post’s“LGBT HealthLink," would reshare them as well.

In addition to designing, these projects allowed me the opportunity to leverage my writing skills, do research, and collaborate with the organizations' internal subject matter experts.

HIV & Young People: Combatting Health Disparities

Using After Effects, I created a motion graphic to educate people about the health disparities affecting LGBTQ youth. 

As part of the process, I conducted content research, created a storyboard, designed the graphics that would be animated, and selected the music, and coordinated opportunities to collect and implement group feedback.

I also wrote a blog post about the animation.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

What I enjoy about projects like these is being able to illustrate both progress and opportunities for growth within public health.

I created an infographic in acknowledgment of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Similar to previous data-driven design projects, I partnered with the in-house researcher to make sure the data and design told a fair and accurate story.

National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

As part of my role at the AIDS Action Committee, I created several infographics about how HIV/AIDS impacted underserved populations in the U.S., including youth.

As part of this project, I partnered with the team's in-house researcher to collect the data for this infographic. Then, I organized the information as well as determined and executed a visual direction for the graphic. 

World AIDS Day

In commemoration of World AIDS Day, I designed an infographic for Fenway Health that covered how the HIV/AIDS epidemic has affected people across the globe. 

As part of the process, I mapped out the story that I thought would be effective and then reviewed several internal and external research briefs to identify facts for the infographic. I was able to use colors that were from the organization's brand system and focus on typography and layout.
