For thirteen years as lead designer for the University’s quarterly alumni magazine, my editorial illustration and layout skills helped tell stories of the remarkable work taking place on campus—research, business, engineering, the arts, and more. Additional responsibilities let me strengthen the marketing efforts of all areas at the University, for whom I created award-winning concepts ranging from logos to large-scale wall murals. My expertise in branding garnered me a place on the University’s Graphic Standards Committee, where I refined campus guidelines and became the go-to person for reviewing and approving all work from outside sources. As part of the marketing and communications team I provided graphics support for all web and video projects, oversaw photo shoots for major campaigns, and liaised with production vendors regarding file transfers and press checks. Along with fellow designers, I developed and sustained a departmental internship program through which we mentored graphic arts students and provided real-world work experience.
