A Break from the Digital Studio
My first position after finishing my BFA in 2017 was with the Human Rights Campaign as a Graphic Designer. I had the honor of working on many projects that helped educate the public on topics concerning the LGBTQ community. This includes pamphlets, reports, presentations, infographics, and posters that I have designed over the years as an employee and later as a consultant for HRC.
The Human Rights Campaign takes on the responsibility of educating the public on critical information relating to LGBTQ people in the US and around the world. This is a recurring project that I work on for the Workplace Equality Team within the organization. It is a report highlighting employment equity in Mexico and is a diagnostic tool for LGBTQ+ policies and practices in the workplace. I design these reports annually for Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.
At the Human Rights Campaign and Foundation, my role as a graphic designer was centered on the art of visual advocacy—taking high-stakes data and transforming it into a movement. Designing for one of the nation’s most prominent non-profits required a rigorous adherence to brand alignment across massive, multi-channel campaigns, ensuring that every informative report and infographic carried the organization’s weight and authority. The fast-paced nature of advocacy meant mastering high-quality, quick-turnaround deliverables without sacrificing precision or impact. This experience taught me how to distill complex social and legislative issues into clear, compelling narratives that command attention. Today, I apply that same agility and strategic lens to all my projects, ensuring that information is not just shared, but visually engineered to drive engagement and support user awareness and action.
