Summary
In Fall 2024, I had the privilege of participating in DAAP’s Collaborative Studio focused on Children’s Service Design. Throughout the semester, I worked closely with a team of peers on a comprehensive service design project aimed at supporting emotional regulation in children under 12. Our solution, Moodbuddy, is an interactive service designed for parents and children to foster emotional awareness, strengthen connections, and promote healthy communication. Moodbuddy transforms parenting into a collaborative partnership, helping families navigate emotions together while enhancing educational engagement in today’s digital age.

2023 American Legal Technology Awards
GNGF had the great honor of being nominated for the 2023 American Legal Technology Awards, and our team had the opportunity to design the event’s visual identity. I was responsible for creating the digital award ceremony videos and supporting graphic content. Contributing to such a high-profile event was a rewarding experience that deepened my understanding of storytelling through motion and design.
Social Media Marketing
Collaborated with the Marketing team to lead a comprehensive overhaul of GNGF’s social media strategy. The initiative included redesigning testimonial layouts, event promotions, case studies, branded quotes, video content, and internal team highlights to create a more cohesive and engaging digital presence.
Key Takeaways
A designer’s most powerful tool for growth is experience. Immersing myself in professional environments and engaging with others through thoughtful, integrity-driven communication has shaped how I collaborate, solve problems, and lead with empathy. These experiences fuel my evolution as a designer and as a contributor to purposeful innovation.
I’ve learned to approach design with intention, where every decision serves a purpose. By understanding how thoughtful marketing and visual communication can shape perception, I create work that resonates with audiences on a larger scale. My goal is always to design with clarity, impact, and meaning.
This experience deepened my understanding of professionalism and adaptability, while showing me how design can drive real business growth. I carry these insights into every project I take on, always striving to create work that’s not only visually compelling but strategically impactful.

A special thank you to my mentor, and the GNGF team. My first 2 co-op experiences were incredible and I am glad I got to learn so much from the team and industry professionals.
