American University Library, Washington, DC

2003–2017 Design & Marketing Coordinator

After working as support staff for two years at AU, I successfully lobbied to create a position for myself as the library graphic designer. In 2007, I was able to create a case for adding the responsibility of marketing coordination to my purview. I was responsible for creating a cohesive visual identity, providing the library with a prominent presence on campus, and addressing the day-to-day design needs. As the sole designer, I had the ability to take on many additional responsibilities, like print buying, photography, copy writing, editing, coding, and running a print shop. In the last four years, I also mentored future designers while supervising a student design assistant.
