About the Artist
I’m Charity, a multidisciplinary artist and award-winning designer specializing in branding, creative direction and visual arts for clients serving a greater good.
History has shown us that artists have successfully been a driving force of cultural change for centuries. I believe the intersection of art, education and data can create space for more equitable and fair communities—and hopefully encourage a little more empathy.
BIO
Originally from Maryland, Charity studied Art and African American Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Soon after, she received her Master’s of Professional Studies from the Maryland Institute College of Art, paving a way for creative direction and management. In 2021, she became the Senior Creative Design Manager for the National Association for the Education of Young Children (nonprofit) and Creative Director for the Rushern Baker for Governor campaign (Maryland’s only publicly funded political campaign for Governor that year).
Her approach across mediums is guided by an interest for color, accessibility, and clarity. She also works as a ceramic artist.
