There was a time — after my diagnosis — when I realized kidney cancer research was significantly underfunded compared to other cancers, and I needed to do something about it. I convinced a group of fellow patients and caregivers to help, and Action to Cure Kidney Cancer was born.

Website refresh for Action to Cure Kidney, a national nonprofit advocacy organization. Our goal was to update the site’s blogging function and “look” while communicating a re-focus of the organization’s mission from lobbying to direct granting and publishing. Original brand refinement by CXD • 2015
B2B SaaS Innovator
Brand ID, marketing, and video animation for AutoTrieve, a provider of document scanning services to auto dealerships — regionally in the NE, and nationally via ScanSend, their online portal. As a startup, AutoTrieve’s challenge was to be found, seen, and remembered as a credible and trusted resource, and also to describe and illustrate a multi-step, cloud-based service.

Urban Farming, Food Security & Nutrition Educator
Brand ID, marketing, fundraising, and event support for nonprofit Teens for Food Justice. Our goal was to design a bridge identity for a new name, while referencing the old (Students for Service). We wanted to create an authentic, inclusive, fun brand to attract students, that is also “professional” to appeal to educators, board members, and funders.

One that speaks to families, and also to professionals in family law, mediation, education, and social work.
