human centered
comms support
I’m Charlie (they/them), a Minneapolis-based
web and graphic designer with a decade of non-profit communications experience under my belt and an enthusiasm for building a better world.
MY BACKGROUND
For the past decade, I've supported individuals and organizations through innovative communication campaigns. From Montessori schools to permaculture farms, I've crafted hundreds of newsletters, graphics, and websites that amplify meaningful missions.
Drawing on my experience as a visual artist and photographer, I specialize in using color and design to craft compelling, impactful brands. I take pride in my human-centered approach, where collaboration and relationships are key to creating a brighter, more connected future.
what clients are saying:
"Charlie's warmth, attentiveness, and exceptional technical skills made working with them on my small business branding stress-free.
They asked thoughtful questions to support my vision and were able to translate my answers into a website that was more beautiful than I could have imagined.
I can't recommend them enough!"
"I had nearly given up trying to manage a cumbersome website/archive situation, so when I was referred to Charlie,
I just hoped for the best.
What I got was so much more than that:
a stellar designer, simple instructions, empathy,
creativity, and kindness."
