The Center for Health Communication is in a unique position — housed between the two major college at the University of Texas at Austin — the Moody College of Communication & the newly-established Dell Medical School. The challenge from a design standpoint was to find a unique visual identity which balanced the two different collegiate styles. And, of course, maintain a connection to the university’s brand guidelines.

We began to develop templates and common graphics for the most used elements of communication for the Center. Namely, powerpoint, social and email. Over time, we also worked together to develop some simple flyers & reports.

In this position, I worked as both the visuals lead for our in-house team as well as the lead on several external contracts, including one significant contract with the State of Texas focused on the opioid crisis.

NOTE: The work developed for the State of Texas is not included in my online portfolio, as that work is currently under embargo. I would be happy to provide more information via email or in person. This campaign involved large-scale project management, presenting visuals as part of the team to our state partners and working with a local advertising agency to develop and deliver materials in a timely manner. It was an honor to be part of such an amazing team and hopefully spark a change in Texas to turn the tide on the opioid abuse.

Honored to not only design this presentation but to be part of the 5-person team who presented our research findings to the State (in open campus event). My section was on marketing to health prescribers in Texas.

Social media surveys were used to pinpoint awareness gaps and misinformation about PMP and opioids.

A contract with UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, many elements of the Eliminate Tobacco use had been established in its inaugural year. I took those elements and added a few graphic anchors to help solidify the brand and give it enough legs to move forward in future years. We put together an annual report (launched at the summit), event materials and a social campaign to promote awareness leading up to the event and participation during the event.

Later they launched a website based on the site UI designed before I left.

An identity developed in support of an annual fundraising event for the Strauss Institute at UT. Powerpoint, programs and email invitation templates were created and utilized by staff. All feedback was positive.
