Meet Theresa
Based in Durham, NC, I'm the Communications Director for a National Conservation-focused Non-profit. In my free time, I’m the Communications Chair on the board of my local Audubon Chapter, and love to support local organizations in my creative work through my freelance business, Tailorbird Creative.
My journey has included getting my BFA in graphic design at UNCG, and my Master of Arts from UNC-Chapel Hill in Digital Communication. This background enables me to combine my love of writing, design, and high-level strategic thinking to guide organizations and clients with an intuitive and creative lens.
I’m also an Enneagram 7, bird nerd, and pasta granny at heart. My favorite things to do are going out birding, stewarding my little corner of land in Durham, and spending time on my artistic hobbies.
