BIZ TOWN BOOTH


The Junior Achievement of Arizona BizTown is an interactive learning experience giving fourth through sixth-grade students opportunities to run their own businesses. The program teaches essential financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship skills.

MCCCD has a 3-year commitment with Junior Achievement of Arizona. As the only higher education institution in BizTown, approximately 25,000 students from 300 schools will experience the MCCCD storefront each school year.

I was the graphic designer for the booth, creating the files for the vinyl wall graphics in Adobe Illustrator. As the project manager, I worked with an instructional committee to develop the exhibit student experience and coordinated with the large-format print vendor to produce the booth graphics.




ARTISTS OF PROMISE


The Artists of Promise is an annual showcase of talent within the Maricopa Community Colleges. This event honors the Chancellor’s Award Winners from student competitions in creative writing, dance performance, dance choreography, fashion design, film/media arts, music composition, instrumental music, vocal music, theatre design, theatre performance, and visual arts.I designed the campaign for the 2020-2021 competitions and gala event. This included posters, social media posts, animations, and web images. I also adapted this design to make a printed book that showcases the winners of the Creative Writing portion of the competition.






I designed the campaigns for both 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The second campaign was a further iteration of the first one. This included posters, social media posts, animations, and web images. I also adapted this design to make a printed book that showcases the winners of the Creative Writing portion of the competition.

MAKE IT HAPPEN
CAMPAIGN REFRESH


The Make It Happen Campaign for MCCCD had been used for over 3 years and needed a conceptual update to "refresh" the campaign. My concept intended to add energy to our designs by including a pattern that added another layer of activity. In our original campaign, we used cutouts of students next to text. In my Refresh concept, the background was brought back in to give context to the student's setting. This concept was created during COVID-19 quarantine and I wanted the designs to show that learning could take place anywhere.

Including the backgrounds added depth and allowed cutouts of students to interact with the pattern. The resulting desings are more dynamic and engaging.

My concept was adapted into our print ads as we continued using the MIH Campaign.
