Organizational Rebrand & Positioning — International Women’s Media Foundation
Context
The International Women’s Media Foundation was widely recognized for its Courage in Journalism Awards, which were often more visible than the organization itself.
Role
Led the communications components of a broader strategic planning and rebranding process, including defining the organization’s value proposition, developing new mission and vision statements, and shaping a more assertive messaging framework. Oversaw content and creative direction for a full website redesign in close collaboration with designers and internal teams.
Impact
The rebrand strengthened the IWMF’s organizational identity and positioned it more clearly as a leader at the intersection of press freedom and gender equity. The brand and website continue to anchor the organization’s communications and external engagement.
Advocacy & Program Documentation — Innovative Food Aid Program (Bangladesh)
Context
Innovative food aid program in Bangladesh designed to improve efficiency and effectiveness by sourcing food locally rather than relying solely on in-kind shipments.
Role
Led end-to-end program documentation and advocacy support, including extensive field travel across Bangladesh to conduct stakeholder interviews with parents, administrators, processors, and government officials. Authored the publication in full, translating highly technical content into accessible policy narratives, and produced all photography and visual design. Supported public briefings and advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill.
Impact
The publication was cited in U.S. Department of Agriculture congressional testimony and contributed to U.S. government discussions that expanded willingness to procure food aid locally under Feed the Future.
Strategy Launch & Organizational Learning — Living Goods
Context
Living Goods’ 2022–2026 strategy marked a major organizational moment, setting direction across multiple countries, functions, and partners.
Role
Led strategic messaging and storytelling to launch and translate the five-year strategy for internal and external audiences, including development of stakeholder-ready materials and visual reporting. Subsequently returned as an external consultant to document and synthesize lessons learned from strategy implementation, drawing on interviews, desk review, and internal reflection.
Impact
The strategy launch helped align staff, partners, and funders around a shared direction. The lessons learned work supported leadership with structured insight into what worked, what evolved, and how the organization’s experience could inform future strategy and external engagement.
