Portfolio
Case Studies
As a nonprofit writer and content editor, I interview federal grantees about their innovative projects to capture their processes and replicable practices to share with other grantees.
Overview
From project inception to final publication, I drive case studies throughout the entire creative process, focusing on comprehensive storytelling to highlight the grantee's innovation and impact. I have written, edited, designed, and published 12 case studies under the Model Practices & Innovations portfolio at the Legal Services Corporation.
Process
To capture the breadth of information necessary to communicate the grantee's story, I employ a multi-pronged approach:
-
Conduct a recorded video interview
-
Gather relevant grantee data
-
Research relevant academic and scientific studies to provide context for the issue grantees are addressing with their project
-
Create a comprehensive outline to organize the research, data, and information before drafting the case study
-
Draft and edit the case study
-
Incorporate manager and grantee feedback into the final editing cycle
-
Incorporate the case study into an appealing design
-
Publish the case study and share it on social media
Infographics
Another writing specialty I have honed throughout my career is the art of the infographic. These resources balance the need for engaging design and copy that draw in the reader and allow them to take away useful information.
Overview
Like case studies, I drive infographic production from ideation to publication. Infographics are an easy way for me to share content on relevant topics for grantees while experimenting with design layouts to enhance visual elements. I have written, edited, designed, and published over 15 infographics as part of the Model Practices & Innovations portfolio at the Legal Services Corporation.
Process
Infographics require a balance between engaging design and copy that I incorporate into my development process.
-
Identify an infographic topic based on emerging grantee needs and issues
-
Collaborate with grantees or internal teams to compile the infographic content
-
Draft infographic copy
-
Design the infographic around the copy
-
Edit the infographic
-
Incorporate manager and grantee or internal team feedback into the final editing cycle
-
Publish the infographic and share it on social media

Project Briefs
Project briefs enable me to effectively communicate innovative projects in a concise format, facilitating expedited production.
Overview
I use project briefs to share newer grantee projects with promising outcomes that focus on problem identification, solutions, project development, and outcomes. Under the Legal Services Corporation's Model Practices & Innovations portfolio, I have published over 20 project briefs.
Process
When grantee projects address short-term or emerging issues, I employ a detailed publication process to share these innovative programs.
-
Identify a grantee project to feature based on emerging topics
-
Interview grantees to capture detailed information about the project
-
Draft the project brief text, focusing on problem identification, solutions, project development, outcomes, and lessons learned.
-
Design the project brief around the draft text
-
Edit the project brief
-
Incorporate manager and grantee feedback into the final editing cycle
-
Publish the project brief and share it on social media

Interview Videos
Sometimes the best way to share grantee insights is directly from the people doing the work. Using tools like Canva Video and Adobe Premiere Pro, I produce engaging, short-form videos to share highlights from recorded grantee interviews.
