ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Catherine Dwelley
I’m a systems-minded graphic designer with 15+ years of in-house experience turning complexity into clear, usable design. My work is rooted in empathy and collaboration, creating solutions that truly support the people who use them.
Let's Work Together
I’m interested in opportunities that combine design, strategy, systems thinking, and community-centered work. I especially enjoy projects focused on accessibility, education, public interest design, branding, and thoughtful communication systems.
Currently open to:
-
Freelance and contract work
-
Agency or in-house design roles
-
Community and nonprofit collaborations
-
Research and socially engaged design projects
ABOUT THIS TOPIC
I chose college food insecurity as my thesis topic because it’s an issue that affects far more students than most people realize, yet is rarely talked about openly.
I'm interested in how design and communication can help reduce stigma and make resources feel more accessible. I want to create systems that encourage mutual support and community empowerment, rather than reinforcing the unequal power dynamics often associated with traditional charity models.
Get Involved
Learn how students, volunteers, and campus communities can support more accessible and stigma-free food resources.
