I make the mission clear, beautiful, and actionable.
Choose Democracy’s most watched explainer. Four hundred illustrations now in a published book and progressive training slides. Live boards for Audubon’s national leadership conference. When the issue matters, clarity is the whole job.
The 123,190 is the Savannah Dietrich petition, July 2012. She was seventeen, she named the two boys who had assaulted her in violation of a court gag order, and their attorneys moved to have her held in contempt. I started the petition asking for that charge to be dropped, and spoke for the campaign to national press. The motion was withdrawn on 23 July 2012. Change.org marks the petition a victory, which it does for very few. Several petitions ran at once and their signatures were combined.the petition, marked a victoryCBS News, 24 July 2012
Featured nonprofit work
Clear, beautiful, actionable, in that order, with the receipts for each.
Choose Democracy
The mission work I would show first. Their most watched explainer at 26,000 views, more than 400 illustrations now published in "What Will You Do If Trump Wins?" and used in real progressive trainings, and a Waging Nonviolence feature.

Boards for a national conference
Live boards across the National Audubon Society’s 2023 Leadership Conference, including the opening plenary and a session on their five year strategic plan. Indigenous led content from the Seal River Watershed Alliance carried with the care it needed.

Belle of the Bot
Public education built the way a small organization has to build it: one volunteer, one data file, zero recurring cost, and a system that stays consistent as it grows.

The rest of the deck, ordered for someone hiring for a mission.
Comics journalism
Journalism drawn rather than written, published by outlets that fact check. The Advocate put my book on its best of 2017 list and ComicsVerse reviewed it at 99 percent.
Independent civic scribing
Years of showing up unpaid to draw the rooms where organising happens. Four hours early to a Warren town hall for a spot near the front, and the campaign retweeted the drawing. Two Netroots Nations, the marches in St Louis and Phoenix, volunteer scribing for SURJ Sacred Heart.
Product deck generator
The kind of internal tool a lean team needs: it takes the repetitive production work off a person who should be doing the thinking.
Email campaign generator
Email that is compliant by construction, which matters more when there is nobody whose whole job is to catch the mistake.
Analytics build and dashboard
Analytics a small organization can actually own: no per seat dashboard fee, no agency retainer, and reporting the team can pull themselves.
A studio dashboard for my art business
Reporting built for a team of one, where every insight reads as a plain sentence with its caveat attached rather than as a number without context.
Passage
Care work made visible: tracking the person being cared for, and tracking the caregiver, who is usually the one nobody is watching.
Also on the record
Thank you for making something we can hold onto.

Let’s talk.
I have spent four years on one pro democracy account, drawn a national conservation conference live, and shown up unpaid for years to draw the rooms where organising happens. I know the difference between work that looks good and work that gets used.
Tell me what has to be understood, and by whom, and I will show you how I would make it land.
