BONFIRE
STORYTELLING
WEBSITE DESIGN
GRAPHIC + PRINT DESIGN
Bonfire is a multi-generational storytelling experience held in Chico, CA. Since June 2023, community members representing different age decades, are selected to share a 10-minute story based on the month’s theme.
Starting my time as a volunteer, I joined the Bonfire family designing posters, social media graphics, programs, and tickets sold in partnering businesses around town. I also designed and maintain bonfirestorytelling.com, launching the website in the month before the first anniversary show.
In the words of the Bonnie Pipkin, host and producer of Bonfire, “Storytelling is a radical act. In the simple act of listening, we fill our hearts and take that out into the world. And the world would be a better place if we can just listen to people.”
CHICOSOL NEWS
CREATIVE DIRECTION
GRAPHIC DESIGN
EMAIL MARKETING
CAMPAIGN STRATEGY
ChicoSol News is an independent, nonprofit news organization providing investigative reporting and cross-cultural feature writing to Chico, CA, and the surrounding Northern Sacramento Valley region.
Joining the ChicoSol team was an opportunity to overlap my experience in journalism and my skills in graphic design. I design, curate, and distribute The Little Sun, ChicoSol’s weekly email newsletter. I also create social media posts and videos for published stories and “Sunny’s Podcast.”
With the core belief that journalism is a community service, ChicoSol provides a platform for stories that span cultural borders and examine how power and policy affect vulnerable communities.
NORTH VALLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
WEBSITE DESIGN
GRAPHIC + PRINT DESIGN
North Valley Community Foundation is a nonprofit based in Chico, CA, serving the community through grantmaking, fiscal sponsorship, and cultivating partnerships.
What started as an internship to redesign nvcf.org grew into my first full-time, in-house role as a Digital Content Creator. I managed our website, designed graphics for digital and printed materials, and led several creative projects.
VIDEO PRODUCTION
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
I also had the pleasure of documenting the stories of our organization’s impact, as well as the work of our charitable funds, through written pieces and video.
My greatest joy in this role was connecting with compassionate and hardworking individuals, learning about why they’re driven to do the work they do to help our community thrive. They continue to inspire me and utilize my talents to amplify their stories.
