PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) is a nonprofit media organization committed to delivering educational and culturally enriching content across television, digital platforms, and educational services.
When a former coworker connected me with someone at PBS in need of design support, I jumped at the opportunity to share my portfolio. That introduction led to a rewarding two-year collaboration with Tia Graham and the Planned Giving team. Together, we developed a range of creative solutions to help donors better understand how to include charitable gifts to their local PBS station as part of their financial or estate planning.

I was responsible for crafting a presentation that met three specific criteria: it had to exude energy, effectively convey core ideas, and serve as an introduction to the Planned Giving Capacity Building project. In response, I created an engaging interactive PDF and incorporated a series of illustrations, combining them with carefully chosen stock images. This approach not only facilitated a lively and intuitive document navigation but also aimed to spark enthusiasm among the national team for the Planned Giving initiative. To personalize the project further, I reached out to Planned Giving representatives for their headshots, integrating them seamlessly into the PBS network visual shown above.

INVITATION: GATHERING TO SUPPORT THE VISION OF PUBLIC TELEVISION
I developed a concept centered around honey gathering to illustrate the power of teamwork—drawing a parallel to how honeybees work collectively to build their hive. The visual theme served as an invitation for regional leaders to visit their local PBS offices and explore new approaches to fundraising together.
