OVERVIEW

That’s me!

PROJECT 1: THE BOLD IDEAS SUMMIT

My first summer working at OUD I was tasked with creating quote animations for the department's upcoming "Bold Ideas Summit". This summit brought together some of the university's largest donors and supporters in an innovative setting.

These 5 to 10 second animations were later edited into a longer video featuring some of the University of Michigan's prominent leaders including deans, regents, and more!

PROJECT 2: DIGITAL ASSETS COLLABORATIVE

Recently, I am assisted in the organization and development of the Digital Asset Collaborative (DAC), a service for managing finished digital assets produced in the course of or for use in Official University Business specifically in the areas of marketing, communications, academics, and research. Having a central, well-managed system benefits all stakeholders in terms of diversity of representation, efficiency, and enhanced visibility across units. 

Through this role, I have

  • 💙 Organized the metadata for images currently in the DAC

  • 💙 Tagged mages with locations, departments, and featured individual keywords to allow users to more easily locate necessary images

  • 💙 Created portals for easy navigation to spotlight searches and key events

PROJECT 3: ADOBE EXPRESS TEMPLATES

Working at the intersection of the MarCom and Social Media departments I designed and developed graphic templates using Abode Express. These templates allow our social media team to create graphics that follow our brand guidelines with ease!

  • 💙 Designed 65+ templates for social media posts and stories

  • 💙 Inputted University of Michigan Brand Guidelines including colors, logos, fonts, and icons

  • 💙 Led walkthroughs on how to use each template for the Social Media team
