Digital Design
Break Something
Graphic design for a political media firm.
Break Something is a political media and advertising firm in Washington, D.C. — campaign managers, designers, strategists, and media buyers who work on races from state legislature to U.S. Senate.
This is a selection of graphic design produced during an internship in summer 2025 and continued freelance through 2026. The work covers the full surface area of a digital political operation: social posts, animated carousels, email headers, SMS graphics, donation page backgrounds, and campaign apparel.
An open Senate seat meant high volume and fast turnaround.
When a U.S. Senator announced retirement, the Iowa Democratic Party needed to fill the content pipeline overnight — rapid-response social graphics, animated carousel posts, and fundraising visuals across email, social, and SMS.
Email header built around Wall Street Journal coverage
One candidate, every format.
Rob Sand's gubernatorial campaign produced the widest variety of deliverables — editorial email headers built around press coverage, end-of-quarter fundraising series, animated SMS graphics, and ActBlue donation page backgrounds.
SMS graphics — sized for phone notifications
State senate social graphics.
High-contrast social graphics designed to hold their own in a feed alongside national-level content.
Policy-driven email and social content.
A congressional office needed visuals that translated legislative specifics into something a constituent would actually stop and read.
National fundraising graphics.
PAC graphics target donors nationally rather than voters locally — broader visual language, stakes framed in aggregate, multiple candidates in a single composition. Work spanned Blue Senate, Contest Every Race, and Break Something PAC.
Issue advocacy for wildlife legislation.
Social content and action alerts for state-level wildlife protection legislation — designed to drive constituent calls and donations.
The visual handoff between an ad and a donation.
ActBlue backgrounds sit behind the donation form — the transition between the content that got someone to click and the moment they enter payment info.
Advocacy merch.
T-shirt designs for a merchandise line — each one distills a message into something readable across a room and printable in one or two colors.
All work produced in Photoshop and Sketch. Animated pieces built frame-by-frame or with timeline-based motion. Assets delivered across social (1080x1080), email (600px wide), SMS, and ActBlue formats.
