Strategic + Equity Planning
Work: Strategy, writing, design
For: Ingenuity Chicago
As part of Ingenuity’s next chapter, I wrote, designed, and developed two foundational communications pieces: the FY23–25 Strategic Plan and the Equity Action Plan. These companion documents define not only where Ingenuity is going, but how it will lead with equity, transparency, and accountability along the way.
I was directly involved in the internal strategic planning process and then took the reins on transforming that work into clear, accessible, and public-facing communications. My approach fused storytelling, design, and strategic clarity to create two documents that speak with a unified voice — reflecting Ingenuity’s vision while remaining grounded in its day-to-day impact.
The Strategic Plan outlines three key commitments: investing in sustainable arts learning, expanding access and opportunity, and influencing systems change. It sets a bold, focused course for the future of arts education in Chicago.
The Equity Action Plan runs in parallel, articulating how Ingenuity will operationalize equity across its internal practices, partnerships, and sector-wide leadership — with clear areas of accountability and ongoing reflection.
Drawing from the bold, future-oriented visual language I developed for Tapestry, I designed both reports to be readable, human-centered, and aligned with Ingenuity’s voice. From typography and layout to messaging and tone, I executed every element — ensuring both plans serve as strategic tools and relationship-building assets.
