Nonprofit design studio
Graphic design for nonprofits that works for supporters and the people they serve
At Acton Circle, we design for nonprofits and foundations improving education, health, and community well-being who don’t want to look like everyone else.
We turn your annual report into a story that builds trust, stirs emotion, and keeps donors on the edge of their seat, then extend that story into tools that keep your impact working long after launch.

Nonprofits don’t struggle because their missions aren’t powerful. They fall short when the story gets stuck in homemade designs, the kind pieced together in Canva super last-minute, packed with too much text, and tough on the eyes.
Now, I don't even question your mission or dedication to your work. But when the design doesn’t match the heart behind it... donors skim, board members zone out, and opportunities slip by.
That’s where belief-building design changes everything.
Not decoration or the cherry on top, but design that shows you walk the talk, makes people feel something, and shows the world your team knows their stuff.
That’s why I built Acton Circle.

After years in the Bay Area design world, I wanted to work with organizations actually changing communities. Acton Circle exists to help nonprofits and foundations turn their missions into design that builds belief.
Our work goes beyond annual reports (though you know we love a good one). It’s about helping nonprofits show up with design that matches the depth of their mission—and looks every bit as strong as the work happening on the ground.
And for me, it’s personal. Acton Circle is named after the street where my grandparents lived, the place where my creativity and faith first came alive.
It’s a daily reminder to stay grounded in what matters most. That same sense of purpose runs through every project we take on.
