about aml

Hi, I'm Anne Marie (she/her). I grew up in Newport News, VA, and then planted one foot in college radio and another in video production at Florida State. I then spent a few years in the NYC media scene where I produced video content at Slate, Eater, and Dow Jones Media Group, before heading into the Communications Design MFA program at Pratt Institute to expand beyond the world of video and move toward strategy and creative direction.

Things started to click after that. I moved to Philly and began working with local and global organizations on every aspect of their communications. The wider lens quickly revealed how limitations in budget and capacity can hamper growth, especially for smaller brands who don't have the resources to enlist the help of a design agency or to hire a dedicated marketing team. I’ve since devoted my time to figuring out how to make it easier for people to manage the marketing themselves.

Camp Onas Templates

A future-proofed document and slide deck template

Camp Onas approached Anne Marie to develop a new visual identity and presentation template for their 2023 capital fundraising campaign as well as a document template for their 2023 annual report. Both projects required a new visual identity that expanded upon the existing Camp Onas brand while amplifying the revised mission, vision, and values. Anne Marie served as a strategic partner—optimizing the campaign content and storytelling through the incorporation of captivating photography, color, typography, page design, and iconography. She refined and prioritized Camp Onas’ core messaging within each deliverable to ensure organizational consistency and increase audience engagement. The final templates and resources were provided to staff members to use, edit, and replicate for years to come, building their team’s internal capacity to communicate with their audiences.
