For over 15 years, I've used my passion for graphic design and nature to build a career around promoting the outdoors and protecting our planet. I've always been creative and crafty, and when I started taking graphic design classes in high school, I knew graphic design was a perfect career path that would allow me to tap into my creativity.
I help green brands and nonprofits with graphic design projects that focus on conservation, sustainability, restoration, wildlife, recycling, zero-waste & more. I love working with eco-friendly clients on branding, illustrations, logo designs, ads, custom maps, infographics, annual reports, and more.
My work with conservation-minded nonprofits and businesses varies based on each client's projects and needs. Check out these case studies to get a sense of my graphic design services and clients I've loved working with. I work best with brands and causes that are green, sustainable and eco-friendly.
When I started to become undeniably aware of the negative effects that humans have on our planet, I felt panicked and hopeless that - as a graphic designer - my profession was useless in aiding in conservation and sustainability efforts. I was convinced that if I wasn't researching alternative biofuels or inventing plastic-free packaging solutions, I wasn't dedicating my career to anything important.
I've worked with clients like National Forest Foundation, American Rivers, Merrell, Camp4 Collective, Vail Resorts, Butterfly Pavilion, Friends of CAIC, and a variety of other government agencies, community organizations, and groups that promote eco-friendly and sustainability causes. I work best with clients who make it a priority to do the least amount of harm to the planet as possible.

I just finished a logo and branding project with Margo for my small business and cannot recommend her enough. Through every step of the process, she was transparent and thorough about timing, expectations, and results so there were no surprises or unexpected hiccups. She was on time with every single deliverable, and ahead of schedule on most. Her input on our branding, personality, and aesthetic was invaluable and we are obsessed with the final product; we feel that Margo perfectly understood who we are and our logo similarly expresses that. She greatly exceeded my expectations for the design

We hired Margo to turn a sentimental drawing into a logo for our small farm- Tangled Carrot Farm, llc. The timeline gave ample opportunity for revisions while still delivering the final product quickly. Even though we came with a vision her execution of that idea was phenomenal- beyond our expectations! Margo was a pleasure to work with!

Margo was awesome to work with and I'm excited to work with her again on my upcoming projects! I had a great experience working with her from start to finish. She took my ideas of what I wanted to the next level, gave me great and diverse options to choose from, and was the most organized and thorough designer I've ever worked with. She's everything in one package- super creative and an amazing designer and very organized, responsive, and thorough. Thank you Margo!

We worked with Margo to do our non-profit annual report. She did a phenomenal job! The report is beautiful and does an excellent job conveying our work. She took lots of time up front to review our copy and branding materials to make sure she understood what we needed, and gave us exactly what we had hoped. She was also very flexible with revisions, stayed on the timeline (even when we didn't), and was very patient with last minute changes on our end. She was also just a pleasure to work with. We would absolutely work with her on future projects.

We hired Margo for graphic design for 2 of our big annual events and would highly recommend her! She was very professional, set deadlines for the project and followed through with everything in a timely manner. She did an excellent job of distilling down the many ideas/suggestions we gave her into a design that was exactly what we had in mind! We loved the final product and it was truly a pleasure working with High Mountain Creative!
