Our Chosen Child works with hopeful adoptive families and adoption professionals around the world to create profile books and outreach materials that function as thoughtful, cohesive mini branding kits for families. The work often begins with a profile book, which is typically a family’s first introduction to an expectant parent, but under my creative direction has expanded to include online presence, social media assets, and video storytelling that support families across multiple touchpoints. Through a careful blend of photography, writing, and design, each piece is crafted to feel honest, warm, and deeply personal.

As Creative Director, I’ve led the creative vision and growth of the brand for nearly 15 years, focusing on intentional storytelling, cohesive design systems, and highly personalized support. I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of families express who they are in ways that build trust and foster meaningful connection.
