Creative Director Retainer

Brand clarity. Strategic storytelling. Creative leadership—without the full-time overhead.

I partner with nonprofits, community-rooted organizations, and heart-led entrepreneurs to shape their creative vision, elevate public engagement, and lead campaigns that resonate. With over a decade of experience as a communications and design leader, I bring calm, clarity, and collaboration to every project.

This is a great fit for you if:

You lead a nonprofit, foundation, social enterprise, or purpose-driven business

You need consistent creative leadership—but can’t hire a full-time comms director

Your messaging or visuals feel disconnected from your mission

Your monthly retainer includes a mix of creative strategy, brand oversight, and hands-on support tailored to your goals:

Project + vendor management
I handle timelines, creative assets, and collaboration with your team or vendors so you don’t have to.

Creative strategy + co-creation sessions
Monthly or biweekly Zoom calls to plan campaigns, review messaging, and align on design direction.

Story-driven visual + brand development
Support with copywriting, messaging, identity, and visuals that reflect your values and engage your audience.

Campaign + event support
Creative planning and production for launches, fundraising efforts, educational initiatives, or community events.

Collateral + content development
Light design support each month: PDFs, flyers, presentations, social templates, social graphics, etc.

Why, Yellow?


Oh I do love some color theory.


Yellow is the color of friendship, hope and enthusiasm. The ‘yellow’ communication style is characterized by empathy, intuition and value for human relationships. Yellow can also be used as a color of caution, bringing our attention and awareness to an issue that needs to be seen.
Yellow is the color of the sun, sand, and that sparkle in your eye. ;)
