Hi, I’m Amber.
Based in the Puget Sound region • Open to communications, marketing, creative, and community-engagement roles
What I bring to a team
I help organizations turn ideas, programs, events, and initiatives into clear, engaging communication people can understand and act on.
My work combines communications strategy, visual storytelling, accessible design, and hands-on production. I’m especially drawn to work that connects people whether that means helping families understand a school initiative, building participation around an event, developing a coordinated campaign, or creating materials that make information easier to navigate.
If you’re looking for someone who can think about both the message and how people experience it, we may be a good fit.
I can contribute to:
Communications and campaign strategy
Visual marketing and creative services
Social and digital content
Email and audience communications
Community and stakeholder engagement
Event communications
Print and production coordination
Accessible and audience-centered design
Cross-channel campaign development
Have a project that needs to connect with people?
I also work with organizations that need focused creative and communications support for a specific campaign, event, program, or initiative.
You may already know what you need — or you may simply know that your communication feels scattered, inconsistent, difficult to understand, or harder to manage than it should be.
That’s where I can help.
-
Bring the pieces of a campaign together so your audience receives a clear, consistent message across print, social, email, events, and other touchpoints.
-
Create coordinated promotional materials, signage, digital content, participant information, and other communications that help people know what’s happening and how to participate.
-
Develop welcoming, easy-to-understand communication for schools, PTAs, family programs, fundraisers, events, and community initiatives.
-
Turn information, instructions, and ideas into more approachable visual experiences for audiences with different learning, communication, and sensory needs.
-
Need something that doesn’t fit neatly into a package? I can develop custom visual and communication materials around your organization, audience, and goals.
What it’s like to work with me
Audience First
Before deciding what something should look like, I want to understand who needs to see it, what they need to know, and what will help them engage. Before deciding what something should look like, I want to understand who needs to see it, what they need to know, and what will help them engage.
I’m comfortable in the details
I enjoy the big-picture thinking, but I also know campaigns succeed because someone is paying attention to the social graphic, print file, email, signage, deadline, handoff, and dozen other details that connect the pieces.
Strategy and design work together
A beautiful piece that doesn’t communicate clearly isn’t doing its job. I think about message, hierarchy, timing, format, and experience alongside the visual design.
Accessibility is part of communication
Clear language, thoughtful visual hierarchy, inclusive messaging, and multiple ways of understanding information can make participation easier for more people.
Collaboration matters
Some of my best work comes from listening closely to the people who know their organization and community best, then translating what I learn into communication that works.
