Public Health Communication & Design FAQ

I design visuals, toolkits, and campaigns that translate complex health and behavioral data into clear, accessible communication. My focus is helping public health researchers, community programs, and academic institutions communicate evidence-based information in ways that engage, educate, and motivate action.

My background in behavioral science and public health informs every design decision I make. I integrate principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and behavior change theory to ensure that visuals do more than inform—they inspire sustainable action and engagement.

I frequently design within IRB and university brand guidelines, ensuring all participant-facing materials meet research ethics, accessibility, and compliance requirements. My experience across NIH- and NIDDK-funded projects allows me to deliver visuals that are both scientifically accurate and human-centered.

I’ve partnered with universities, health systems, and nonprofits including the University of Connecticut, George Washington University, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Penn State University, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. These collaborations support the creation of clear, equitable health communication across diverse populations.

I design branded toolkits, study recruitment materials, educational handouts, infographics, and social media campaigns for public health research and wellness programs. Each piece is evidence-based, accessible, and tailored to both academic rigor and community impact.

Yes. I provide consulting for academic and public health teams who need guidance in communication strategy, participant engagement, and data visualization. This includes designing intervention materials, simplifying complex study content, and improving how health information is experienced by audiences.

Yes. I’m a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and a Certified Life Care Planner (CLCP) through ICHCC. I also hold national certifications in personal training, group fitness, and nutrition. My foundation in wellness and health behavior change enriches how I design and communicate health information.

I start by learning about your audience, research goals, and communication challenges. Together, we define the project scope and strategy—whether that’s IRB materials, a digital toolkit, or a behavior-change campaign—then move into design and delivery with clarity and measurable outcomes in mind.

Yes. While my focus is public health and behavioral science, I also collaborate with mission-driven organizations, healthcare companies, and wellness professionals who value evidence-based communication and design that promotes understanding, equity, and positive change.
