DEVI LEIPER O'MALLEY
CREATIVE
DIRECTION

Art, expression, and communication is critical to social change.
As a person of privilege in social justice, I find purpose in building bridges between different communities, and I have passion in doing that through storytelling and visual design.
I believe in the power of how something makes you feel - from an annual report for stakeholders to a project budget for staff - the way something looks affects your understanding.
I can work with you on small projects, or lead larger teams. I'm a skilled listener and translator between staff and designers - helping them through a collaborative process to understand each other to achieve the best result.
I lean on my own technical experience, personal aesthetic, writing skills, and strategic thinking to bring ideas to life and create something that helps everyone be seen and heard.
Let's tell stories together.
