Event Planning and Marketing

IGNITE Innovation Showcase

Collaborating with a team, I helped establish an annual event for the university’s Student Innovation Center to showcase each year’s innovative work, projects, and competitions. In addition to strategic planning, I was charged with designing, printing, and distributing all marketing and promotional collateral, directional signing, and digital content. During the events, I provided social media, photography, and videography services.
