Greenflag Media 2023–2025 Full-time
Crafting Identities with Impact Remotely
Greenflag Media is a full-service agency focused on building strong client relationships through tailored digital solutions. As a designer, I created logos, brand guidelines, and visual identities for non-profits, while also developing site maps, web mockups, motion graphics, and social media content to enhance user experience and engagement.
Overall Experience
This was my first full-time remote role, where I gained valuable real-world experience in client communication and project delivery. Working primarily with non-profit organizations, I collaborated fully online and leveraged digital tools to manage workflows, communicate effectively, and deliver impactful design solutions without in-person interaction.

TAKEAWAYS
Creativity Within Constraints
Working with nonprofit organizations taught me that constraints aren’t limitations. I learned how to make thoughtful design decisions that balance expression with strategic clarity.
Clarity is Impact
Communicating complex ideas to diverse audiences strengthened my ability to simplify without oversimplifying. I learned to treat design as a translation tool, turning complex ideas into clear, accessible visual systems.
Think in Systems
Managing branding and web assets simultaneously taught me to design beyond individual deliverables. Building cohesive visual systems ensures long-term consistency and scalability.

PROBLEM #1
Housing both 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) within one website
Two entities within one website created confusion around roles, donations, and advocacy, risking miscommunication and compliance issues.
PROBLEM #2
Lack of accessibility, clarity, and intuitive navigation
The site held extensive content, but limited navigation buried key functions in subpages, making information hard to find.
PROBLEM #3
Website management was difficult for internal teams
The backend stored thousands of news and blog posts without a clear categorization system, making it difficult for staff to manage and organize content.

Restructuring Navigation & User Flow
After stakeholder meetings, we restructured the website sitemap by refining content categories and surfacing key functions more prominently, creating a clearer navigation flow and preventing user confusion.
Transforming Navigation into a Mega Menu
The cluttered menu was redesigned into a mega menu that consolidates content and improves findability.

The page layout was redesigned to improve clarity and visual hierarchy, using distinct hero images to highlight each page and card-based components with tags to organize content more effectively.

Distinct Yet Connected Brand Identities
