ABOUT ABBEY

I’m a designer and maker living in Chicago. By day I work in nonprofits marketing and by night I’m usually drawing on my iPad or scheming about my latest project.

With two decades of experience in the arts, nonprofits, and creative small businesses, I bring a unique set of skills to every project. I excel as an “explainer,” organizing and synthesizing information into compelling visuals and content. I’m a passionate advocate for social justice and believe in the power of great design to create change.
