RESOURCE GUIDE
Support, Services & Strength for Every Step
A 64-page behavioral health resource guide for Franklin County — created with ADAMH and the Board of Commissioners — connecting residents to counseling, addiction treatment, crisis support, and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
The guide is built as a wayfinding system, not a directory: eight color-coded audience sections (Mental Health & Recovery, Youth, Seniors, Families, ESL & Refugee, LGBTQ, Veterans, and more), card-based provider listings, self-check worksheets, and testimonial pull quotes — with warm, inclusive silhouette illustration threading it all together.

OVERVIEW
Public Information, Designed to be Read
Civic publications carry a heavy load: data, directories, schedules, and policy — often for readers who never asked for any of it. This selection of print work spans four very different briefs, but every piece answers the same question: how do you make institutional information feel human?
The answer across all four is a consistent editorial toolkit — strong typographic hierarchy, color-coded wayfinding, generous photography, and stat-driven layouts that let a reader find what they need in seconds or sit with the full story for an hour.
Four clients. Four audiences. One editorial standard: clarity that respects the reader.

ENGAGEMENT REPORT
A Year of Listening, Set in Print
Produced with Warhol & WALL ST. for the Central Ohio Transit Authority, this report documents the 2025 engagement season for the East Main Street Bus Rapid Transit project — 44 events, 11,211 residents reached, and 4,334 direct conversations across Downtown, the Near East Side, Bexley, Whitehall, and Reynoldsburg.
The design system pairs the LinkUS navy-and-green identity with GIS engagement maps, key-figure sidebars, neighborhood-by-neighborhood sentiment summaries, resident pull quotes, and field photography — turning a season of community data into a document partners and public officials can actually navigate.

PROGRAM BOOKLET
Neighborhoods Rising: Building Resilience Post Pandemic
The official program for the City of Columbus 2022 Neighborhood Best Practices Conference — a full-day gathering of residents, civic leaders, and neighborhood organizations, with welcomes from Mayor Andrew Ginther and Director Carla Williams-Scott and a keynote by Dr. Ameena Kemavor.
Anchored by a bold orange, navy, and teal palette and a rising-skyline illustration, the booklet organizes a three-round breakout session schedule, speaker bios, the 20 Under 20 Awards, and the Dan Charles Award into a piece energetic enough to match the day’s theme of post-pandemic resilience.

Where Information
Becomes Invitation
From a transit authority’s engagement findings to a county’s lifeline of wellness resources, these publications prove that public-sector print doesn’t have to feel institutional. With deliberate hierarchy, color-coded navigation, and layouts that honor both data and dignity, each piece turns required reading into something a community chooses to pick up — and keeps.
