JCharlier Communication Design

Recently, I was contacted by a new non-profit organization to develop their visual identity from the ground up—and their mission immediately stood out.

They are working to eliminate the financial barriers that prevent neurodivergent individuals with speech and language differences from accessing Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices. These tools can be truly life-changing, yet far too many people are unable to access them simply because of cost.

I had the opportunity to design the organization’s logo and website, helping translate their purpose into a clear, approachable visual identity that supports their mission and amplifies their message.

If you’re interested in learning more about their work and the impact they’re making, I encourage you to visit the link below.

I'm happy to share the newly released 2025 Annual Impact Report for Gardens Buffalo Niagara!

This well-crafted report captures an incredible year of growth, community engagement, and the spirit that makes Buffalo Niagara's garden community special. With nearly 90,000 visitors welcomed by around 600 gardeners, GBN continues to create more vibrant and beautiful communities by sharing gardens—while making a positive economic impact to the region.

I had the privilege of designing this Impact Report, collaborating closely with the GBN team to develop the infographics, write compelling content, and produce a visual narrative that honors the organization's mission and its passionate volunteers who make it all possible.

From the Garden Walk Buffalo, celebrating its 31st year, to the East Side Garden Walk fostering cultural expression, from the Lunenfeld Beautification Grants supporting 26 community projects to the innovative Artists in Gardens program—every page tells a story of connection, creativity, and community impact.

Whether you're a nonprofit looking to showcase your annual achievements or a for-profit organization seeking to communicate your impact with clarity and visual appeal, I'd love to help bring your story to life through thoughtful design, compelling infographics, and strategic content development.

I was pleased to have been asked to be a participant in Virginia-based PlantPop.com's film series exploring the relationship between people, plants, and the arts. Please visit their short films of artist gardeners at PlantPop.com. The video was produced, shot, and edited by Buffalo-area filmmaker Michael Chernoff.

Jim Charlier likes to view his garden as an art gallery. His background in design and marketing were big assets when he started helping out with Garden Walk ...
