Working at B&Y has easily been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Even after almost 2 years, I can't beleive someone pays me to do what I love and make things all day. Everyday I get to expand my skills, solve interesting problems and be myself, and for that I will be forever grateful.

My official title at B&Y is Director of Digital & Interactive Design.

Basically since the day I started, I've been using almost every free minute expanding on the B&Y brand and bringing it to life through motion. To maintain a sense of minimal cleanness I try to do as much as I can with shapes and single color compositions. ‍

I wanted to present B&Yers to the world in fun and engaging ways while also giving B&Y more quirky personality. I volunteered to take over employee anniversary posts for social and had everyone give me a couple fun facts about themselves to then be animated in a mixed media paper style. I challenged myself to spend 4 hours or less on each post. I feel like the most fun outcomes almost always come when you don't have time to overthink stuff.‍

To revitalize our digital presence and client facing materials I worked to create a new templated style for social carousels, sell sheets, pitch decks, and proposals. I feel like any possible chance to out personality the competition is something to hit as hard as possible. I really love the emphasisis on thinking at B&Y and it's one of the reasons I chose to work here. I used pitch decks and proposals as a canvas to reference the thinking process as much as possible.

One of the center pieces of the show was an elaborate digital music book that housed a photo, bio, and music notes along with playable music from each of the 101 women artists. I created 12 unique backgrounds that randomly shuffled behind each artists portrait and designed the content CMS to filter by genre, name, and songs.
