I’m a Sr. Designer working for an ad agency based in Los Angeles.
Clients I’ve worked with include the National Institutes of Health, MITRE, Microsoft, Johns Hopkins HealthCare Solutions, Hawkfish, EarlySense®, Go Culture International, and more.
Currently, I’ve been working on NIH’s All of Us Research Program through the ad agency, Wondros. The All of Us Research Program is the largest health research project in American history.
Wondros is a global creative agency that works in the fields of social change, public health and the arts. We take top talent in the industry and use that to create positive change in the world. Current clients of Wondros include Open Society Foundations, United Nations, Vanity Fair, MD Anderson, Harvard Medical School, the McCain Institute, Frank Gehry, XPRIZE, MIT Media Lab, National Institutes of Health, UCLA Arts, The Biden Cancer Initiative, and many more.
I create everywhere from OOH, print ads, illustrations, direct mail, and digital files.

I also help develop new creative campaigns.
The biggest question we’ve been trying to answer is: Why have some communities not been a part of medical research?
In fact, before 1995, women in the United States were excluded from medical research entirely, as well as communities of color.
Our goal has been to advertise the program in many different ways to increase awareness of the lack of diversity represented in medical research. We want more people to participate, so that we can better learn about health and disease from a biological, life-style, and environmental perspective.
This is a historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States.
So far, our efforts in the past few years have helped enroll over 300,000 new participants in the program. Our goal is to increase that number to over 1 million.
The mission of the program is to then accelerate health research in the United States and help speed up medical breakthroughs. The goal is to enable individualized prevention, treatment and care for all of us.
