ABOUT

I design the stories institutions struggle to tell—turning research, strategy, and impact into clear, persuasive communications.

Specializing in editorial design and donor communications, I’ve worked across North America and South Asia helping organizations translate complex research and high-stakes strategy into structured, narrative-driven materials.

By combining narrative strategy with rigorous design, I create reports, publications, and campaign materials that support fundraising, engage stakeholders, and move strategic initiatives forward.

This work sits at the intersection of narrative strategy and editorial design—bringing structure to information so audiences can understand, trust, and act on it.

Some of the companies I have worked with include:
