NACA (National Association for College Activities) | 2025 My Role: Graphic Designer
Deliverables: • Booth and Signage Design • Social Media ads • Ticket Design • Merchandise design
Ideation: This year, our NACA booth aimed to incorporate nostalgia into movie events, demonstrating how campus organizations could use this theme to attract larger audiences. The focus was on an early 2000s (Mean Girls) aesthetic, creating a striking contrast with modern-day design trends.
SCREENPLAY UI/UX | 2025 My Role: Graphic Designer
Deliverables: • Design and Prototype for Screenplay Web Application
Ideation: As gamification continues to grow across industries, Swank aimed to bring that trend into the college events space. With Screenplay by Swank, colleges can host interactive digital bingo and trivia games alongside movie events. I worked with the College Sales team to design a new web-based user interface for both games, aligning with the established Swank Screenplay brand identity. The goal was to create an interface that is visually engaging, yet intuitive and easy to use.
