GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR JUSTICE
PIH United States, the U.S. arm of Partners In Health, is striving to realize the right to health in the U.S. by working shoulder-to-shoulder with public health departments and community organizations to advance their long-term visions for healthier communities and more just systems.
Partners In Health launched its U.S. COVID-19 response in March 2020, in line with their previous experience of fighting epidemics and strengthening health systems around the world. PIH-US maintains that “communities and public health leaders must build and maintain support for all pillars of COVID-19 response: community protection, testing, contact tracing, supported isolation, and vaccination. Neglect of any one of these components will delay recovery from the current pandemic and leave us underprepared for future outbreaks of infectious disease.”
I work for PIH-US as their graphic designer to visually communicate PIH-US’ public health guidance and community-based findings for print and digital platforms. Below are examples of materials I have designed (social media content, technical reports, direct mailers for vaccine perception surveys, and outreach materials about the mRNA vaccines) to support PIH-US in carrying out their objectives related to each pillar of the COVID-19 Comprehensive COVID-19 Response Cascade. 2020-Present
