April Arrington is the founder of Dune Consultancy, bringing more than a decade of experience in branding, creative strategy, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, and communications. Her career has centered on helping mission-driven organizations strengthen their identities, tell better stories, engage supporters, and turn ambitious ideas into meaningful impact.

​

April has held prominent leadership and creative roles throughout the animal welfare and advocacy sector. She previously served as Vice President of Beagle Freedom Project, a global animal welfare organization focused on rescuing animals from research facilities and advancing legislative protections for animals used in testing. She has also worked with Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary and first served as a consultant during the historic Envigo beagle rescue, which resulted in approximately 4,000 beagles being removed from a breeding and research facility and placed into rescues and adoptive homes across the country.

​

Her creative and strategic work has also included consulting for Animal Outlook, a national animal advocacy organization, as well as creative work for Misfit Hounds. Across these organizations, April has contributed to branding, campaigns, fundraising, communications, donor engagement, storytelling, and creative direction.

​

Before entering the nonprofit and animal welfare sectors, April worked as a senior designer for a leading international publishing company, where she led creative projects and helped develop award-winning products for globally recognized brands including Disney, Marvel, Mattel, and Nickelodeon.

​

That combination of design expertise and nonprofit leadership continues to shape April’s approach today. She believes the strongest brands do more than look beautiful—they communicate clearly, build trust, inspire action, and make people feel connected to a mission. Her background in visual storytelling allows her to approach fundraising and communications from both a creative and strategic perspective, developing work that captures attention while supporting measurable organizational goals.

​

Through Dune Consultancy, April brings together creative direction, branding, communications, fundraising strategy, and nonprofit experience to help organizations clarify who they are, strengthen their voice, and build deeper relationships with the people who support their work.​
