Art Director at Western Governors University
Western Governors University is an online non-profit university where students earn affordable, accredited, career-focused college degrees. My work involves generating unique agency work that aligns with client's objectives, while also reflecting the distinct identity of WGU. As a thought leader, I lead art direction, collaborate with other designers, share feedback, and manage projects.

"They Said" Campaign
With the "They Said" campaign, I led designers to produce large-scale multi-funnel creative. The direction highlights WGU's charisma and boldness. Competitively, the campaign stands out in the education space while appealing to the WGU prospective student.
