Since I sometimes designed materials for donors and other times designed materials for clients, audience research played an important role in my design process.
Here are some examples of my work.

To create this advertisement, I researched the audience of the intended publication and developed a copy platform to strategically reach them, while maintaining St. Vincent de Paul's brand identity and tone. I used Adobe Photo Editor and Adobe InDesign to create this advertisement, which ran in the February/March 2016 issue of Cincy Magazine.
