Puget Sound Business Journal is Seattle’s source of local business intelligence. While building the Business Journal brand, I manage the assets of PSBJ’s many corporate partners, including pwc, Virginia Mason, The Seattle Foundation, Comcast Business, Stoel Rives, and the Seattle Mariners. Additional responsibilities include pagination and quality control of the company’s weekly digital and print publications.

My posters, T-shirts, layouts, and logos highlighted Seattle University's most active student event planner, promoting more than 60 events throughout the year. Independently, I developed and completed large-scale publicity and marketing campaigns for Seattle University's most popular campus events.

Three fellow Orientation Coordinators and I hired and trained a staff of 60 student Orientation Advisors while planning summer and fall orientation events. I designed materials including team-building logos, door decks, nametags, staff apparel, and a shirt given to the incoming class.

Supervising the Graphic Designer position, I redesigned logos and flyer templates while introducing a more viral, student-engaged marketing philosophy which increased SEAC's profile on the Seattle University campus. As part of an executive board, I collaborated with fellow students and administrators to examine benchmarks and find creative solutions to challenging problems.
