CURRENTLY EST TIME ZONE
You see, creativity and generosity are in my DNA—I'm the granddaughter of a printer, docent, grant writer and welder. I am also the daughter of ministers and a special needs teacher. So trust me when I say, giving and creating aren't just what I do, they're who I am!
Meet Dani
OWNER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR + DIGITAL STRATEGIST
I'm the driving force behind The Charity Design, wearing multiple hats to bring ideas to life: Creative Director, Designer, Web Designer, Digital Strategist, and Donor Manager. With a passion for design and a belief in its ability to inspire change, I’ve dedicated my career to helping nonprofits create meaningful visual stories that connect with their audiences. See more of my story here.
When I step away from my computer atop a handpainted desk that I LOVE, you'll often find me lost in a good book—I'm a total bookworm! Plus, as a military wife and mom, I've mastered the art of adaptability, resilience, and juggling roles like a pro. These real-life experiences have shaped my work approach, infusing my designs with a hefty dose of reality and empathy. Whether I'm strategizing a digital blitz or meticulously designing a website, my aim never wavers: to whip up designs that captivate, engage, and prompt action! Because at the end of the day, it's all about making a difference, right? Now, let's get started on creating something extraordinary together!
Meet Sarah
SENIOR DESIGN + MARKETING MANAGER
Hi! I’m Sarah, a graphic designer, web designer, illustrator, and social media manager. I have a background in non-profit communications, and have always loved being able to harness my creative skills to advance equity, sustainability, and inclusivity. I have a degree in Environmental Studies from Virginia Wesleyan University and a Graduate Certification in Graphic and Digital Design from the Parsons School of Design.
It is a dream to design for organizations who are doing so much good for the world. My past experiences spearheading reforestation efforts, performing communications for children’s charities, and managing marketing campaigns for environmental non-profits have all informed my work and allowed me to make an impact in the areas I’m passionate about.
I’m so excited to be joining the Charity Design Co Team and helping non-profits like you build their digital landscape- it is an honor to be a part of telling your story through visual design and marketing!

Meet Kay
WEB DESIGNER
I'm a versatile graphic, web, and UX designer with a passion for details and the “why” behind each one of them. As a proudly queer and disabled designer, my work is naturally rooted in accessibility, empathy, and community, reflecting the values I live by every day.
I believe thoughtful design is a way I can make the world a better place, so nonprofit clients have a special place in my heart. Over many years of freelance and agency experience, I have collaborated with nonprofit organizations to support causes like reproductive rights, housing access, disability justice, abolition, and even cat adoption.
In my free time, I’m usually cooking up risograph magic in the print collective studio, organizing art markets with my bestie, or watching questionable horror movies.
Meet Sasha
DESIGN + STRATEGY SPECIALIST
I'm a design strategist specializing in branding and web design for mission-driven organizations. With a foundation in Communication Design and a graduate degree in Social Design, I bring a thoughtful, research-driven approach to creating user-centered experiences that align purpose with impact.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with product teams working toward food system resilience. I helped design a learning platform for low-literacy farmers in India, developed visual design systems for early-stage agricultural software, and co-created interactive tools like an agrobiodiversity assessment and a supply-chain dashboard with food system experts. Across these projects, my goal has always been the same: to translate complexity into clarity through design.
Outside of work, you’ll find me practicing yoga, volunteering as a wildlife rehabilitator, or relaxing with my husband, two cats, snake, and a small flock of backyard chickens.
