I’m a communications designer, curious creative, and humanistic thinker originally from Alabama.
I am the creator of the CFBS Podcast, which explores the intersectionality of the experience of millennial women of the African Diaspora millennial. Topics include the discovery of a woman’s own sexuality and sexual expression through pop culture and society (i.e. religion, culture, etc.).
I’ve studied in Alabama (University of Alabama, December 2016), California, and New York (Pratt Institute, May 2020), and have traveled to Japan and throughout the United States.
I have enjoyed partnerships involving brand identity and designing for social impact and media. Some of the most interesting projects to me have promoted diversity, education, and human-centered concepts (e.g., sexuality, sociology, interactions, women, minorities, and cultures around the world).
Healthy Food Access: Creating Branch to the Parent Brand
Healthy Food Access Portal is a resources hub for the community to find out about state-related policies, resources, news, and events. It is apart of the parent brand The Food Trust, which overall helps to fight food insecurity.
Dilemma
Healthy Food Access is a child brand of The Food Trust (TFT), so we needed to create a design that worked within the parameters of TFT’s color system for HFA, the existing font UI hierarchy for TFT, and also bring in some of the styling from TFT’s current website.
Role - UI Designer
My role at Studio Mosaic for this project was leading the design direction for the website through research into the UI and systems in place for The Food Trust’s branding and iterating webpages. The website was a collaboration between the project management coordinator, web developer, myself and occasionally other designers on the team for suggestions, additional work, etc. The brainstorming and collaboration with the developer and project manager for the project on potential issues was very helpful in the development of this site (i.e. State Policies page showcased below).
Continued Dilemma...
Healthy Food Access’s website is a database for 100+ state-focused policy resources that are all organized by region and state. One of the issues that needed to be solved was how to showcase all of the resources, blog types, etc. in a creative way without using pagination. Solution 1: sticky anchor links with expand and collapse on scroll. In connection to that, we also needed to solve for how regions would be showcases in the website, so we developed regional selection states that showed on hover what states that would include.
