CONNECTING YOU & YOUR COMMUNITY THROUGH DESIGN
As libraries expand the services they offer their patrons, it is more important than ever to be able to connect with your communities. Good design can spark that connection.
With 11+ years of experience working with libraries, I am a designer who understands the wonderful library world, believes in what you do, and wants your library to thrive.
Does this sound like your library?
1. You wish to better engage with your patrons and foster community excitement around all the new programs, collections, and services you are offering?
I am here to help.
2. You want to have visually enticing program guides, themed bookmarks, and effective mailers, but do not have enough budget to have a full-time designer on staff?
For a fraction of the cost of having a full-time designer on staff, I can help fill that gap.

3. Does all the design work fall to a full-time staff member who is already busy with their main responsibilities such as the Community Coordinator, a department head, or a business librarian?
By working with me you can help relieve the design-work pressure on these staff members.

Quarterly Program Guides
A visually dynamic seasonal program guide is a wonderful tool to capture the attention of your patrons and bring better engagement to the programs and events your librarians are putting on for the community.
With the public so used to tweets, threads, and quickly processing images while skimming the text, having program guides with strong visuals makes your guides something your community wants to read.
Summer Reading Promotion
For many libraries Summer Reading is the largest community engagement program they run every year. So, this is the one to really invest into and bring something to your community they can be inspired by.
Whether it is using the official graphics bundle or putting together a custom look just for your library, I can help create a visual blast for you SRP promotions & materials.
Fun Library Cards, Bookish Bookmarks, Popping Postcards
& Other Ways to Reach Patrons
& Other Ways to Reach Patrons
A pop of color, a spark of life. Do you have quarterly mailers you send out to your community to let them know all the wonderful things your library is offering? Or perhaps a millage coming up on the ballot, or a new incentive to announce?
I can work with you to create custom postcards, on-brand bookmarks, or stickers to give out at circulation. Or fresh signage for your stacks, entertaining web graphics for you site.
