UMBC Student Events Board

Vice president of design

From 05/2020 to 05/2021

During my senior year of college, I led the design team at (seb), managing a team of three designers. I was elected to this role shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began, at a time when it was crucial for us to become a source of joy and connection for students. As we transitioned our events to a virtual format, our goal was to foster a sense of community for students who were isolated in their rooms.

Previously, our organization’s identity was primarily conveyed through physical flyers posted around campus. With the shift to virtual events, our social media presence became the new face of (seb). To ensure visual coherence and engagement across our social media platforms, I introduced monthly style guides with different bright, seasonal colors for our designs. These guides helped maintain a consistent and engaging aesthetic, transforming our online presence and strengthening our community outreach. I also used the guides as a way to streamline the process for getting & giving feedback on designs, and to strengthen communication between designers and the people they were designing for.
