During my time with DSC, I designed and maintained signage, menus, and graphics across six campus locations, delivering cohesive visuals across web, social media, and print platforms. My role involved leading both branding and rebranding initiatives for multiple DSC locations and campaigns, creating a wide range of materials including wayfinding signage, brochures, posters, labels, maps, payroll cards, and more.

In addition to hands-on design work such as printing and installing design pieces at all locations, I managed project workflows, organized digital files, and coordinated daily communications with directors, supervisors, vendors, and print production teams to ensure smooth execution and consistency. I also worked closely with fellow department designers and managers to create Honorable Mention-winning submissions for the NACUFS annual competition two years in a row. In the second year, I independently designed an additional event book won the organization a prestigious Silver award.

My contributions were recognized with an offer to continue beyond my initial two-year contract in a newly created role—Design Coordinator—a position established specifically for me by the University. In that role, I led a rebrand of the university’s main dining hall and developed a comprehensive resource archive of employee, location, and food photography for organization-wide usage. I also produced a recruitment and promotional commercial for DSC, which was distributed across departments and featured on campus screens year-round, something the organization never had prior.

 

As for volume of my workload on average, I would produce 25-40 design pieces per week, 3-9 per day, depending on the itinerary, season and demand at that time. In fact, by the end of my time at DSC, I had built a comprehensive portfolio of work that almost surpassed the scale and variety of my academic portfolio—to which I'm still so very proud of to this day.
