One of my favorite parts of working with In-Sight was designing playful, interactive print materials for their seasonal class offerings. Instead of creating standard flyers, I turned them into small activities. Each design doubled as something students could fold, build, or play with, such as a mini zine or a paper fortune teller that helped them pick classes for the term. These pieces were approachable, fun, and intentionally designed to meet students where they were. They also reinforced the organization’s belief that art should invite curiosity and exploration.

My design work stretched across nearly every corner of the organization. I produced a wide range of print and digital pieces, including stickers, business cards, classroom materials, and mailed photography kits during COVID to keep students engaged in remote programming. I also created annual appeal brochures, matching grant mailers, and impact reports that helped In-Sight communicate its mission to supporters in a clear, heartfelt way. Being part of a small nonprofit meant I had the space to experiment, adapt, and build systems that made visual communication more consistent and accessible.

One of the largest projects I led was the full suite of materials for In-Sight’s Annual Auction, which consistently raised close to $25,000. I created everything from invitations and postcards to posters, email campaigns, social media ads, onsite signage, and gallery displays. Designing for an event that brought together students, alumni, artists, and community members deepened my understanding of how visual storytelling can build connection and support the long-term health of an arts organization.
