We sat down with Isabel Drumwright, Graphic Designer on Didomi's creative team, to talk about her path into design, the formats she works across (from social campaigns and blog graphics to video assets and event collateral), and what it's really like to be part of the team building Didomi's visual identity.

What does being a Graphic Designer at Didomi entail?
Every social post, blog graphic, event visual, and webinar asset that Didomi puts out has Isabel and her team behind it. She works across the creative and marketing teams. Some weeks it's a social campaign, others it's designing the visual experience for a hosted event or pulling together assets for a webinar.
As a designer, I get to help share Didomi's story and make sure that companies are aware and that they're applying these laws and regulations as best as they can and really listening to people's choices.

For Isabel, design has always been about more than aesthetics, it's also about making sure people feel heard.
Design as a tool for change
Isabel originally studied marketing in the US, with a double minor in graphic design and French, which she describes as a foreshadowing of her future pivot. Upon graduating, she found a master's program in care design in Nantes, France, a discipline that uses creative tools to address health, mental health, environmental, and social justice issues.
Students chose their own social issue for their final project. Isabel chose PTSD, spending a year interviewing psychologists and people living with trauma to understand the best ways to help them before designing something around what she found.
I ended up making a game that would be played by people with PTSD with their loved ones, with their family, their friends, where you can get to know each other a bit deeper and spark these deeper conversations of how can I really support you and be there for you in these times.

To finalize her degree, she came to Didomi as a graphic design intern and after the fact was offered a full-time role and has now been at Didomi for two years.
The jump from PTSD research to data privacy looks like a sharp turn, but Isabel draws a direct line between the two. At their core, both are about making sure people's choices are actually respected. In care design, that meant working with one person at a time. At Didomi, it plays out in companies that handle data for millions of users and in the regulations meant to hold them accountable.
The connection between individual trust and systemic accountability is what makes her design work at Didomi feel like a natural extension of her training.
Trust over oversight
When Isabel was applying for internships, Didomi's remote-first setup was one of the first things that caught her eye. Not as a perk, but as a signal of something deeper about how the company operates.
Didomi trusts people to do their job. They know that the people that they hire are more than capable of being productive no matter where they work from. If the environment where you feel best happens to be from home, then all power to you.
It's the opposite of micromanagement, they just let you thrive in the way that best fits you.

For someone whose work spans as many projects and formats as Isabel's, having that room to operate has made a real difference.
What's next for Isabel and her team?
After months of work involving the creative and marketing teams, executive leadership, an external communications agency, and a motion design freelancer, Didomi recently revealed an evolution of the company brand. As one of the first to feel any shift in messaging, Isabel was central to it, translating new positioning into visual language across every surface the company owns.
The product and the website's main pages have already been updated with the new brand colors. The team is now moving on to the blog, including both its UI and the visuals for the most-visited articles, along with the remaining website pages. Other assets, like social content, slide decks, and newsletters, will be updated on a case-by-case basis.
The visual update is only part of the picture. As Didomi's positioning continues to shift, so will the products behind it and how they're communicated to clients.
