Blending her passions for creativity and good causes, Beth specializes in cause-related design and marketing. She has a long history of working with non-profit organizations. Her award-winning designs have been featured in Designing for the Greater Good, which highlights the best and most current work in the field of non-profit and cause-related marketing.

With more than 20 years of graphic-design experience, Beth has worked with clients that have ranged from boutique design studios to Fortune 500 corporations, including the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Foundation for the Junior Blind and the Autry National Center. In 1999, following several stints as in-house art director, she left the corporate world and started b.g. design, a creative studio with a passion for working with cause-related organizations. Since then, she has been partnering with great organizations that believe in the power of doing good, forming personal and long-lasting connections with her clients.

When she’s not helping her clients make the world a better place or volunteering her time at hospitals with her dog, Scout, Beth recharges her batteries by traveling. She also loves scuba diving, photography, hiking and spending time with her adorable nieces.

In Jackie’s free time she enjoys good books, great coffee, spending quality time with her family, and volunteering for her church and other non-profit organizations.

Currently in charge of reception and security at Cause Farm Creative, Scout became a certified animal therapy dog in 2008 and is proud to now be a serial do-gooder like Beth. He counts “putting a smile on the face of everyone he meets” among his good deeds. Because he was adopted from a shelter when he was eight weeks old, Scout is a big advocate of pet adoption. When not at work or volunteering his time at hospitals, Scout enjoys chasing squirrels, hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains, curling up by the heater and eating his favorite chicken jerky treats.
