Our process
Your peace of mind throughout the design process is our #1 priority. Informed by years of experience, we’ve developed a thoughtful, intentional approach to project management.
We serve as a strategic partner, asking questions, listening, and engaging deeply to understand you, your organization, any specific communication challenges and goals.
Our approach is designed with you in mind, to help achieve your messaging and outreach goals more quickly and with greater ease.
As part of our process, we create milestones, communicate throughout the project, and oversee all of a project’s moving parts for you.
For more in-depth projects, we can assemble a turnkey team of content specialists—from copywriters and editors to designers and illustrators, etc.—and manage the entire project so you don’t have to.
You’re doing transformational work here. You deserve someone to lean on so you can focus on the big stuff.
Leadership
Hi, I’m Cordelia. I’m creative. I’m warm. I’m science-minded. And I care deeply about my clients—organizations who are making the world cleaner, more sustainable and more inclusive. As the child and grandchild of scientists, I’ve always been drawn to details. The inner-workings. The why. The research. I bring a technical understanding combined with creative thinking to my work.
I lead the team here at Luna Creative, and I believe my studio has had so much success helping clients achieve their goals because we always start with listening and understanding.
We love to distill, to translate, and to help you make those critical connections that help your organization grow.
During my design career, I’ve worked with some amazing people and on some really cool projects. For example, I’ve worked for the CIA, designing intelligence pieces that went to the President, Congress, the Pentagon, and the DOD—including the first map folio of Cuba, and the CIA’s first Black History exhibit. But my greatest accomplishments by far are the wins I help my clients achieve at Luna.
As a conservationist and illustrator, I’m passionate about sharing my love of the wild. My books, prints and paintings are available on Etsy at Luna Creative Market.
Let’s achieve your next step.
