Although this section showcases the final results of my time here, the timeline below provides a detailed breakdown of my accomplishments & key projects. My approach at Muir College was to treat the insitution as an ongoing brand rather than a series of one-off social media graphics. As programming transitioned from COVID-Impacted limitation to full in-person events, I focused on understanding what students wanted to see from their college and shaped a human-centered visual identity around those needs.

Before
I started with graphics for affiliated orgs under muir college council which then scaled into Student Affairs.
After
I built an integrated, full cycle visual system that unified every stage of programming and enabled cross-channel consistency, giving all collaborating departments a clear, recognizable and scalable identity for external facing events.
