Native Sun Community Power Development
Year
06/01/2025 and current
In 2025, I led and delivered a complete website and branding program for Native Sun Community Power Development, designed to strengthen the organization’s digital presence and reflect its mission, values, and cultural identity.
Project scope and objectives
Define and communicate Native Sun’s mission and core values online.
Create a cohesive visual identity that respects cultural context and resonates with community members.
Build a scalable, easy-to-manage website that supports ongoing outreach, storytelling, and program promotion.
Implement marketing and communications features to grow engagement and maintain continuous community dialogue.
Branding and design
Developed a brand system: logo refinements, color palette, typographic hierarchy, and iconography informed by consultations with Native Sun stakeholders to ensure cultural appropriateness and authenticity.
Produced a graphic-design suite: templates for reports, presentations, social graphics, and print collateral so visual communications remain consistent across channels.
Curated imagery and media guidelines: selected and placed photographs and media that reflect community life and project work, applying cropping, color treatment, and accessibility-conscious image ALT text to maintain visual impact and inclusivity.
Content strategy and copyediting
Audited existing content to align messaging with organizational priorities and audience needs.
Wrote and copyedited web content to improve clarity, tone, and persuasiveness while preserving culturally relevant language and nuances.
Structured content for discoverability: clear service pages, program descriptions, impact stories, and calls to action to guide visitors toward engagement and support.
Marketing and engagement tools
Launched strategic marketing initiatives to expand online reach: email templates, editorial calendar for blog and social posts, and guidance on audience segmentation for outreach.
Outcomes and impact
A polished, culturally reflective website and brand identity that clearly communicates Native Sun’s work and values.
Improved tools for ongoing community engagement: an active blog, regular newsletters, and a consistent visual voice across communications.
Empowered staff with the skills and systems needed to maintain the site and execute outreach independently.
Stronger online visibility and a platform better suited to promote programs, partnerships, and funding opportunities.
This integrated effort combined creative direction, content polish, and technical implementation to support Native Sun Community Power Development’s mission and enhance its ability to connect with community members, partners, and stakeholders.

2018 to 2024 Projects
The projects were meticulously crafted with a significant emphasis on branding, ensuring a cohesive and recognizable identity across all platforms. This process involved the development of a comprehensive logo package, which included various logo variations, color palettes, and typography guidelines to establish a strong visual presence. In addition, we produced high-quality videography and photography that captured the essence of the brand, complementing various marketing materials, presentations, and reports to create a polished and professional look.
To further enhance our online presence, a user-friendly website was designed with a responsive layout and intuitive navigation, ensuring an optimal user experience across all devices. This website was supplemented by a dedicated blogging platform, providing a space for sharing insightful content and engaging with the audience. Continuous support and maintenance were established to keep both the website and the blog up to date, ensuring that the brand remains relevant and accessible to its audience.
