In my role as Visual Design Manager, I designed and managed multiple, diverse projects and creative staff across the Foundation. These projects supported Stanford Health and Stanford School of Medicine. I partnered with the Creative Director to design, manage, and produce more than 75 projects a year. Projects included: event materials, invitations, signage, ebanners and swag, newsletters, the Foundation magazine, postcards, fliers, brochures, case studies, donor reports and proposals. The updated Foundation newsletter that I designed solicited more than 250K in donations with the first issue. I lead a team that included designers, writers, video editors and project managers to reinforce the Foundation brand and drive donations for Stanford Health Care and the Stanford School of Medicine.
