CONTRACT: Diabetes Research Connection
ROLE: Art Direction | Visual Design | Brand Development | Events
The Diabetes Research Connection is a non-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative, peer-reviewed research by early-career scientists working to prevent, cure, and better manage Type 1 diabetes. For the past two years, I’ve led the creative design for their signature fundraising event, Dance for Diabetes, as well as their comprehensive Annual Report.
For Dance for Diabetes, I developed visual themes that brought energy, emotion, and purpose to life—designing everything from event branding and digital assets to signage, social media graphics, and print collateral. Each year’s campaign was crafted to feel fresh yet familiar, maintaining brand continuity while inspiring community engagement and donor support.
Alongside the event work, I also designed the Annual Report, ensuring the organization's impact, milestones, and financials were presented in a clean, engaging, and easy-to-digest format. Thoughtful layout, cohesive branding, and strong data visualization helped communicate the mission’s momentum while honoring transparency and trust with donors.
This partnership reflects the power of purposeful design in the nonprofit space—where storytelling and clarity drive connection and support life-changing work.
