charity: water 2012 Annual Report

charity: water is widely recognized as a leader in nonprofit design and branding, setting a high bar for how mission-driven organizations communicate impact. For the 2012 Annual Report, I continued a multi-year effort to evolve how the organization tells its story through digital experiences.

As Design Lead on this project, I drove a mobile-first approach that prioritized readability and engagement on phones and tablets. The experience paired immersive photography with concise, scannable storytelling, ensuring clarity on smaller screens. The result was a flexible, globally accessible report that strengthened how donors connect with the mission on mobile.

charity: water 2011 Annual Report

This was my 3rd year designing charity: water’s Annual Report, but for the first time, the team wanted to move beyond a traditional print report and create an interactive digital experience. My challenge was to transform a large volume of data—numbers, statistics, and charts—into a compelling narrative that clearly communicated the impact of charity: water’s work both in the field and behind the scenes.

I designed the 2011 Annual Report as an engaging, interactive experience that brought the organization’s data and stories to life. Through thoughtful layouts, dynamic visualizations, and a narrative-driven structure, the report highlighted the scale of charity: water’s impact while making complex information easy to explore and understand.
