The Brief

A nonprofit's annual report was accurate but unreadable — dense infographics nobody outside the board actually read.

Process

I redrew the key figures as hand-charted illustrations first, on paper, before ever touching a layout grid, to keep the data feeling human rather than corporate.

Solution

A report redesigned around hand-charted data visualizations, organized more like a field journal than a financial document.

Results

Donor engagement with the digital version tripled over the previous year's PDF, per the foundation's own tracking.
