Dedicated to improving the experience of students in the College of Design, my leadership team and I worked to enhance the curriculum of the program as representatives of both students and professors. We independently organized tours of creative companies across the state of Oregon, arranging trips to visit them, bridging the gap between design students and practicing designers, invited speakers, hosted workshops, and put on social events to encourage socialization. Additionally, we worked to expand the CAD curriculum offered by organizing workshops inviting experts to teach new skills to students (ex. 3D Printing & Finishing Workshop, Jan. 2021), assisting teachers who recognized a need for out-of-class support by hosting "study hall" tutoring sessions, and circulated scholarship and internship opportunities to my peers.

My role included designing surveys and marketing materials, overseeing recruitment efforts, public speaking, internal affairs, and correspondence with the College of Design and the University of Oregon.

Student member of the University of Oregon's Industrial Designers Society of America Chapter.

Showcased the UO's College of Design and respective programs several days a week to prospective students and their families, alumni, and visiting lecturers while entertaining, informing, and following professional etiquette. After receiving approval from the Department Head, I worked to redesign the tour route and content to better convey our program to visitors. My role concluded with teaching new hires and was due to my major's 4th year of study being relocated to the UO's Portland campus.

Hired as an intern to help the business through the pandemic, I was fortunate to work in an environment receptive to my unconventional ideas; new store layout and customer flow to maximize social distancing, improved existing sales tags and pitches, helped onboard a new POS software, categorized and increased accessory inventory, implemented new organization methods, worked to coordinate with suppliers, increased marketing in the community, and assisted with sales and customer service. Assessing a need to reach customers online and across the state, I created a new website and e-commerce store to promote online sales. Understanding the importance of authentic client relationships, I implemented customer service systems, such as pre-ordering and callbacks, in order to meet demand.

Deemed "the club that shapes the next generation of social innovators," UOregon DFA focuses on multiple community-centric issues each year, ideating and implementing human-centered design solutions. As a Studio Lead, I work to recruit new members, teach the design process, oversee project teams, handle internal affairs and community partnerships, and lead studio meetings and workshops. Attended the 10th Annual DFA Summit at Northwestern University to complete a 4-day design sprint focused on climate change; resulting in the community-centered solution of an app that puts the power back in the hands of the consumer and brings the issue to day-to-day reality by allowing users to scan the barcode of a product to learn how eco-friendly that product or company is.

As a Team Lead, I was responsible for project management, community partner contact, and facilitating meetings in addition to my work as a Team Member. For one of our projects, our team designed a mobile app used to pinpoint locations on campus and around campus where customer loyalty incentives could be directed instead to someone in need in the community as a donation by the student.

Began as a Product Design Internship but evolved into a Project Management Internship after learning of and leveraging strengths within the organization. I was responsible for conducting research on the US market and translating it into thousands of manufacturable sock designs, managing a team of 13 designers, and preparing designs for manufacturing in order to meet company goals of both quantity and quality.

Worked to produce full-service redesigns for companies, including user-experience-centered wireframes, high-quality website mockups, copywriting, and extensive graphic design services. We specialized in providing the entire package to our customers and evolved from a team of two to a business after we recognized a gap in the market for an agency that cared on a personal level about their clients and provided continued support and even new strategies post-website launch.

Seeking the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of small businesses and magazine publications, I contacted this local magazine and became their first intern. I was responsible for conducting research to write various articles for both their blog and printed issues, pitched new ideas to the editor, and worked with the Arts Director to design covers of the magazine. I was independently responsible for the creation of the City of Sarasota's Annual Arts & Culture Guide in addition to the weekly circulation of their newsletter; planning releases, writing content, and creating visuals.

Created professional marketing graphics and product catalogs for an emerging Ghana-based fashion business with the mission of empowering its employees. Originated through a contact working for Cadling Fashions through a consulting engagement with BCG.
