National Kidney Foundation
In my capacity as a Freelance Designer and Project Manager with the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan (NKFM), I successfully led the development and publication of five comprehensive resource guides. Each guide, spanning over 180 pages, was meticulously designed for user-friendliness with features like tabbed sections for enhanced usability. My responsibilities extended from conceptual design to the production of engaging outreach materials, including QR code-enabled postcards, ensuring that the project's execution was seamless from start to finish. The goal was always clear: to create high-quality, visually compelling guides that improve access to vital health resources for Michigan residents.
