Where life happens on campus.

Where life happens on campus.

During my final year at Iowa State University, I worked as a Student Multimedia Designer for ISU Campus Life, a collaboration between the Department of Residence, ISU Dining, and the Memorial Union.

I designed print, social, and motion assets for on campus audiences and enhance the on campus experience. My work focused on extending the university’s Innovate brand across multiple sub-brands, ensuring visual consistency, accessibility, and alignment with department-specific guidelines.

Dietician Postcard

The initial dietitian postcard design (left) was later redesigned as part of a campus-wide shift to the Innovate branding system. I was tasked with revisiting a design amongst others I created months prior to align with updated guidelines while improving longevity.


The final design (above) removes dietician-specific references, creating a flexible, long-lasting asset that can be reprinted time and time again.
