ROLE -> Lead Designer + Content/Communications Strategist

This collection highlights a range of long-form print pieces designed for internal communication, campaign storytelling, onboarding, conferences, and community engagement. While each project varied in content, audience, and purpose, the challenge was always the same: to take dense or fragmented material and turn it into something readable, impactful, and in brand alignment.

Some projects were fully self-directed, while others involved close collaboration with leadership or other departments. In every case, I shaped the content structure, guided the design direction, and ensured that each piece served its purpose: whether it was handed to thousands of people or built for a focused, long-term use.

The Book of Important Stuff

140pg INTERNAL
RESOURCE BOOK
WestGate Church 2025

This 140-page internal guide was created to serve as a comprehensive reference for staff and volunteers across the organization.

The executive team provided the written material, but because it came from multiple contributors with different frameworks, the material needed cohesion and clarity.

My role was to take that complex content and shape it into a clear, well-structured, and readable resource.

Each page required its own layout solution, there was no universal template, which made the project both challenging and creatively engaging.
The final result is a long-term tool designed to support onboarding, alignment, and shared understanding across departments and campuses.
