Third Act

Design, Strategy, Content

At Third Act, my design and content work spans digital and print graphics, web updates, user testing, accessibility improvements, and style direction for our 70,000+ volunteers. Along with our Creative Director, I provide technical guidance and create resources that help volunteer teams produce consistent, effective communications.

Designing for a senior audience is both the biggest challenge and the most rewarding part of this work. Accessibility drives every choice, from font size and contrast to clarity over ornamentation. I also help shape the organization’s visual voice, balancing a grassroots aesthetic with a level of polish that builds trust and professionalism with prospective members.

Beyond design, I write and edit website content, manage all photo and video assets, and oversee content quality across 34 microsites. Our sites receive thousands of visits daily.
