prolific performance

Overview

Prolific Performance is a youth sports nonprofit focused on access, opportunity, and long-term impact. I supported Prolific through mission-driven storytelling and digital marketing campaigns designed to help donors and the community understand why youth sports matter beyond the game.

The work reframed sports as a pathway to confidence, friendships, opportunity, and future success, not just competition.
