Timeline
Summary
In Fall 2025, I had the great opportunity to co-op at Messer Construction, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. I joined Messer's Pursuit Marketing team as a Graphic Designer and in my role I was engaged in collaborating on Marketing proposals for Messer's many new construction projects. I also collaborated with various teams across Messer's 12 regions such as: Construction Safety, Virtual Design Construction, Operations, Accounting, Business Development, and many more. Messer's wide network of highly talented individuals made my experience at Messer so unique and I am grateful that I got to be a part of such an amazing team.
Phase 01
Project Frame
Excessive food waste in the cincinnati is driven by a lack of consumer awareness and widespread misunderstandings of food lifetime, leading to the premature disposal of still-edible food.
The Problem
There is a lack of effective systems in place for managing food waste within the home, making it difficult for people to take meaningful action. Without the proper guidance and education, households have become one of the largest contributors to food waste in landfills.
Our Solution
“Less waste, more taste” is a design campaign that raises awareness about food waste and prevention for the average household, providing them with actionable tips and tools to decrease waste.
