about.
As a Graphic Design Intern for Michigan Athletics, I created social media graphics, billboards, and web banners across more than 30 varsity sports. The fast-paced sports schedule meant quick turnarounds, so I learned to design within tight brand guidelines while still injecting creativity into each piece. Collaborating with photographers, athletic directors, and other designers, I developed visuals that celebrated team pride and drove fan engagement.
takeaways.
This experience strengthened my ability to design under pressure and adapt layouts across formats — from 1:1 posts to 16:9 videos to large-scale billboards. I learned how to balance creativity with consistency, staying true to Michigan’s brand while finding ways to make each graphic stand out. Going forward, I'm interested in exploring how design decisions impact engagement, using analytics to refine visual strategy over time.
