Design Assistant

As a Graphic Designer for Pipe Dream, I created visual assets to support editorial content and promotional campaigns. I designed graphics for social media platforms to boost audience engagement. Additionally, I collaborated with writers and Design Manager, Bella Diadone, to develop layouts for special editions and ensured the visual branding aligned with the publication’s identity. My work contributed to an increased in-campus presence and a more polished, cohesive look for the newspaper.
