hey there, i’m shelbi!

Originally from Iowa/Minnesota and now freshly returned to the Midwest with several years of D.C. experience, I’m a skilled digital comms professional and passionate advocate for progressive causes. My career has taken me through a diverse array of left-leaning spaces – from Peace Corps to democratic political tech. Along the way, I’ve collected a few favorite pieces of my work to showcase in this portfolio!

I believe my marketing skills shine brightest in three areas: strategy, design, and writing. Despite the separation, you’ll see bits of each of these three skills in every entry in this portfolio, because they play a part in everything I do.

Thanks for your interest in my work – enjoy!

P.S. – Interested in one of those “fun fact” icebreakers from me? My go-to is that my beloved dachshund Coconut (pictured to the left) was the 2022 second place finisher of D.C.’s annual Weiner 500 racing competition.
