Maternal Health Arkansas- Research Material, Hackathon Design Support, and Documentary Graphics

︎ 2022-2024 

This work is all in support of research done by my former professor Bree McMahon during my time as her research assistant. Bree’s research focuses on increasing visibility to the maternal health crisis in Arkansas. 





The culmination of this research was the Arkansas Maternal Health Community Hackathon. An event that gathered participants from across the state to identify the root causes of the maternal health crisis and generate actionable visions for change. I designed the title card and lower-third graphics for a documentary made about the hackathon.




I designed the visual identity for Bree’s research which was implemented physically throughout the Maternal Health Hackathon. The goal of this event was to bring together experts on the topic including Arkansas based doulas, lactation consultants, healthcare workers, fellow researchers, and mothers. Together they were co-designing a Maternal Health research study.




To give this issue a public platform, information and statistics found through the research would be shared on instagram. I was responsible for creating an identity for the instagram and some initial content. When designing I focused on representing the unlinear journey that is motherhood, as well as the diversity of experiences that are present in the issue.
