MEET THE CHARITY DESIGN CO
The Charity Design Co is here because we strive to help charities change the world.
You see, creativity and generosity are in my DNA—I'm the granddaughter of a printer, docent, grant writer and welder. I am also the daughter of ministers and a special needs teacher. So trust me when I say, giving and creating aren't just what I do, they're who I am!
Meet Dani
OWNER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR + DIGITAL STRATEGIST
I'm the powerhouse behind The Charity Design! Trust me, I juggle more roles than a Hollywood casting call! Creative Director, Designer, Web Designer, Digital Strategist, Donor Manager—you name it! Fueled by a deep-seated passion for design and a firm belief in its power to spark change, I've devoted my career to aiding nonprofits in crafting impactful visual stories that truly resonate with their audiences. See more of my story here.
When I step away from my computer atop a handpainted desk that I LOVE, you'll often find me lost in a good book—I'm a total bookworm! Plus, as a military wife and mom, I've mastered the art of adaptability, resilience, and juggling roles like a pro. These real-life experiences have shaped my work approach, infusing my designs with a hefty dose of reality and empathy. Whether I'm strategizing a digital blitz or meticulously designing a website, my aim never wavers: to whip up designs that captivate, engage, and prompt action! Because at the end of the day, it's all about making a difference, right? Now, let's get started on creating something extraordinary together!
Meet Sarah
DESIGN + MARKETING MANAGER
Hi! I’m Sarah, a graphic designer, web designer, illustrator, and social media manager. I have a background in non-profit communications, and have always loved being able to harness my creative skills to advance equity, sustainability, and inclusivity. I have a degree in Environmental Studies from Virginia Wesleyan University and a Graduate Certification in Graphic and Digital Design from the Parsons School of Design.
It is a dream to design for organizations who are doing so much good for the world. My past experiences spearheading reforestation efforts, performing communications for children’s charities, and managing marketing campaigns for environmental non-profits have all informed my work and allowed me to make an impact in the areas I’m passionate about.
I’m so excited to be joining the Charity Design Co Team and helping non-profits like you build their digital landscape- it is an honor to be a part of telling your story through visual design and marketing!
Meet Jasmine
DESIGN + MARKETING
Jasmine enjoys splashing her personality on both the computer screen and the blank canvas or paper. Creativity sparks daily from being a busy wife and mom. A South Floridian by birth and education, she was heavily influenced by her artistic parents, with art being more a way of life than anything else. With a pencil in her hand and ideas in her heart, Jasmine’s doodles began at a young age. The seasons passed and the brushes changed, and she naturally went on to attend the New World School of Arts College coupled with a bachelor’s in fine arts from the University of Florida, specializing in Graphic Design; which further refined her natural talents. She later gained experience working in advertising specializing in leisure and travel brands.
