Launching a Clean Energy Brand: Website, Investor Communications & Executive Presentations

Project Overview


  • Client: Proteum Energy

  • Industry: Clean Energy & Infrastructure Technology

  • Role: Launching a Clean Energy Brand: Website, Investor Communications & Executive Presentations

  • Duration: September 2021 – April 2022


Proteum Energy was an emerging clean-energy startup preparing to introduce its hydrogen infrastructure technology to investors, strategic partners, and the energy industry. The company needed more than proposal documents, it needed a professional marketing foundation capable of communicating complex engineering concepts while building credibility with investors and business partners.


Working directly with executive leadership, I developed the corporate website, established the company's LinkedIn presence, designed investor pitch decks, executive presentations, proposal materials, and technical visual communications. My role focused on translating highly technical engineering information into clear, compelling communications that supported executive discussions, strategic partnerships, and a $25 million fundraising initiative.

ABRA – Charter Club Growth & Governance Framework

Project Overview

Client: American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA)
Industry: Equestrian Breed Registry
Role: Content Strategist & Organizational Communications Consultant
Duration: 2024 – 2025


The American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA) sought to strengthen member engagement and support the growth of its regional Charter Club network. However, prospective club organizers often faced unclear processes, inconsistent governance expectations, and unnecessary barriers when establishing new local organizations.


To support ABRA's long-term growth strategy, I developed a comprehensive Charter Club Growth & Governance Framework consisting of three core resources: a Charter Club Guide, a customizable Bylaws Template, and a Charter Club Benefits Overview. These materials were designed to simplify onboarding, improve organizational consistency, and provide a scalable foundation for future club development.


By combining strategic communications, organizational documentation, and member-focused messaging, the project created a clear roadmap for new Charter Clubs while strengthening ABRA's ability to expand and support local communities nationwide.

ABRA Logo & Branding Refresh

Project Overview

Client: American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA)
Industry: Equestrian Breed Registry
Role: Brand & Logo Designer
Year: 2017


The American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA) sought to modernize its visual identity while honoring its longstanding heritage within the equine industry. The existing logo, originally created in 1963, had become outdated and lacked the versatility needed for modern print and digital applications.


As a longtime member of the equestrian community, I was selected by then-President Gena Loper to lead the logo redesign and develop a cohesive brand system that would support the organization for years to come.
