These are annual reports that I developed for the Department of Veterans Affairs and its program offices.
This inaugural 2023 Annual Report was created for the Office of Clinical Services. I took a strategic approach to the design process, incorporating the tagline "The Heart of Veteran Care" as a central theme. This tagline not only influenced the visual elements of the design but was also thoughtfully integrated into the content, ensuring a cohesive and unified presentation throughout the report. The design was crafted to reflect the core values and mission of the Office of Clinical Services, while also providing a clear and professional narrative that aligns with the overarching theme of compassionate care for veterans.
Additionally, the report was submitted for consideration in the MarCom Awards, which honor excellence in marketing and communication while recognizing the creativity, and hard work of industry professionals. Since its inception in 2004, the MarCom Awards has evolved into one of the largest and most respected creative competitions globally, administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP). I am proud to share that the report received the Platinum Award at the MarCom Awards, further validating the quality and impact of the design and content.

Three-part infographic design series for state and territorial health agencies that work to mitigate chronic illnesses and behavioral health issues by preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
State and territorial health agencies report varying levels of capacity to prevent adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) across populations. Unfortunately, a higher ACE burden is experienced by foster care children, justice-involved communities, and communities experiencing poverty and concentrated violence. This infographic details how state and territorial health agencies have opportunities to improve selected partnerships to impact health equity. By strengthening collaboration with justice systems through transformational approaches grounded in reciprocity, State Health Officials can improve health equity and reduce ACEs disparities.
Cross-sector collaboration is critical to successfully preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Because the impact of ACEs has societal implications and can potentially affect chronic/behavioral illnesses, everyone has a role in preventing ACEs. This infographic details how state and territorial health agencies utilize partnerships to increase ACEs prevention capacity. Health agencies should review internal and external partnerships and strategic plans to understand roles and responsibilities and reveal opportunities to strengthen collaborative efforts.
