I’ve written five Requests for Proposals (RFPs), two of which earned Splainers (an explanation video company) business—a 40% success rate. I also coordinated the creation of a successful Great Places to Work proposal for a different company. I’d be more than happy to discuss my approach in private at your convenience.

To inspire donors and prospects to invest in the Fred Hutch vision, you’ll need someone who can synthesize complex information into language that resonates with them. I’ve had the pleasure of helping organizations like The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Deep Genomics tell their stories in a heartfelt and easily understandable way.

Nonprofits do the hard work of transforming our shared beliefs into the work that bolsters our spirits and saves the lives of the people we love.

The Legal Foundation of Washington seeks to ensure access to civil legal aid for all people in Washington and to improve equity in the civil justice system. To help them achieve their vision of a society where poverty and race are not impediments, my team and I created a fundraising video for their Endowment for Equal Justice campaign.

To help drive sponsorships, they asked us to develop two campaigns: one targeting middle-aged women in general and the other targeting the Hispanic segment of that audience. We created videos, banner ads, and a landing page to help bring that message home in a way that would resonate with each unique audience.

Many Pacific Northwest children who have experienced extended trauma find solace in equine-facilitated horse therapy at Raven Rock Ranch. These troubled kids make significant gains by learning to bond with and care for horses. This video not only explains the neurology behind the therapy but also puts prospects in a troubled teen’s shoes.
