Hi! I’m Darcy.

I’m an independent strategist
& designer based in Chicago.

I enjoy having a good puzzle to solve, helping my dog canvass the neighborhood for compliments & playing volleyball whenever my schedule & lower back permit.

A few of my favorite projects:

✔️ Creating a volunteer onboarding system that allowed the team to read and respond to all correspondence sent to HQ at Obama for America.

✔️ Producing a successful outreach strategy and fundraising event with Gloria Steinem for the Women's Media Center and Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation.

✔️ Spearheading an org-wide shift in social media strategy for 50+ regional offices and streamlining creative operations processes at Teach For America.

✔️ Crafting a content and execution strategy that generated millions of organic impressions and co-producing a live CNN show on 9/11 Day.

✔️ Implementing transparency and accountability measures (including creating a wiki to house all information in one place) for One Tail at a Time's associate board.

✔️ Leading project teams to successfully launch a new data convergence apparatus & a major website redesign at the American Library Association.
