RESUME

When SAIS wanted to pursue new opportunities to add value to membership, I designed an optimized YouTube channel to encourage networking and skill-sharing among members while promoting SAIS events. Branding the channel as SAIStalks: Independent Ideas, the channel was seeded with member interviews where veteran school administrators shared success stories, favorite career moments and best practices. These interview videoscollected at a conference, filmed entirely on iPads and produced in-housewere soon expanded to include presentations, slide decks, virtual book club discussions and annual reports. The channel was launched exclusively through social media/digital newsletters to a core audience of approximately 2,800 potential viewers. Within 9 months, SAIStalks received more than 3,400 video views, showing widespread audience engagement and viewer retention. Member survey responses indicated that users saw the channel as a valuable professional development resource, delivering relevant, usable information in ten minutes or less, 24 hours a day.

In 2007, I wrote a federal grant proposal for a Georgia-based charity working with orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda. The proposal resulted in a multi-year partnership with USAID that fed 10,510 children and provided life-saving medication and malaria intervention. Nearly five years after completing the grant proposal, I was called in again to help share the results. This annual report showcases the successes of the program and was the final product of a complete logo redesign and rebrand, data analysis, information architecture, style guideline development, copywriting and publication design.
