NeighborWorks Portfolio
This portfolio is a snapshot of how I lead creative work: hands-on, mission-first, and built to stretch a lean budget. For nine years, I ran the Department of Labor's in-house creative studio. Before that, I traveled the country telling the stories of communities building affordable, livable neighborhoods. I'd like to bring both to NeighborWorks.
I know this is a demanding moment for the network. With federal funding under pressure, the case for your impact has to be made clearly and often. I know how to do that work, and I'm ready to do it with a small team and my own camera in hand.
What I want: A team that cares about the people behind the numbers, room to build systems that make good work repeatable, and honest feedback when something misses. And when the work lands, I believe in celebrating it together.
