SOCIAL MEDIA WORK
As a Social Media Manager and Graphic Designer, I work to collaborate with clients on projects to manifest their dreams into digital reality. My projects are heavily curated and organized by visual means, prioritizing composition, color, and brand voice. My background in collaging heavily influences my design work which often creates multi-textured graphics with fluorescent colors and bold text. Below are examples of my social media and design work.

Analytics of my work from June-August 2019 and November 2020 to present:
Campaigns for Bates Dance Festival
Virtual BDF/Gibney Connect 2021: The BDF/Gibney Connect is an annual intensive hosted in collaboration with Gibney Dance Center. For this campaign, I aimed to curate a visual brand that represented both Gibney and Bates simultaneously.
Goal: Increase registration for the intensive
Outcome: 45% of intensive participants were first time students that noted they were driven from social media.
2020 End of Year Giving Campaign: The end of year giving campaign for 2020 was challenging due to lack of new content from all of 2020 programming being virtual. I re-formatted photos to create eye-catching content that inspired audiences to donate.
Goal: Increase donations
Outcome: 65% of donations in 2020 came from first-time donors that noted they were driven from social media.

MR Memory Mondays: At the beginning of my internship, I suggested a series on MR's social media that would highlight the prioritization of archiving at Movement Research. Under the guidance of my supervisor and other Movement Research staff, I created the weekly series called #MRMemoryMondays that pulled media from archives to reflect or connect to an upcoming event.
Goal: Increase engagement
Outcome: Individual posts saw an increase of engagement by 18%.
