About Patient Forward

Patient Forward (PF) is a national advocacy and strategy organization working to eliminate barriers to later abortion care and ensure that everyone can access the healthcare they need, when they need it. We educate the public about complex and adverse pregnancy outcomes, elevate patient experiences, and advance policies that support bodily autonomy and access to care without arbitrary time limits.

As we enter an exciting period of organizational growth and rebranding, we are seeking a graphic design and content creation consultant to help strengthen and evolve our visual communications.

The ideal consultant will have a strong eye for design, experience translating complex information into visually engaging materials, and the ability to deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment. We are looking for a partner who can help us maintain consistency during a brand transition while also contributing creative ideas that strengthen our visual identity.

Patient Forward is in the process of rebranding and redesigning our website with an outside firm. The consultant will help implement the new brand and visual system by redesigning our existing materials and developing new materials and social media graphics under the brand guidelines.

• Exceptional visual design skills and a strong portfolio showcasing a strong eye for layout and content accessibility.
