Professional & Internship Work
These projects were completed either after graduation or outside of coursework during my degree program. They demonstrate documentation skills, an accessibility focus, and user-centered design capabilities.
This style sheet was produced for authors and editors within the UITAC Publishing team to reference when working on In The News Blog posts. This was a self-guided, independent project in which I reworked an existing style document to provide clearer instructions, examples, and accessibility guidelines.
The goal of my work on this style sheet was to aid in the Blog's editorial processes by providing thoughtfully organized, thorough, and clear guidance for guest authors and interns. I centered accessibility by providing approachable practices such as use of plain language and device-agnostic terms as well as proper HTML formatting. Furthermore, I added a section for image attribution as this was a notable inconsistency in the Blog website.
This pdf document is a guide to UITAC Publishing's products for the homeschool audience. As UITAC aimed to open their reach to the homeschool market, I was tasked with brainstorming ideas for a new section of the website and decided to include a downloadable product guide. I designed the copy for this guide based on existing product descriptions, but optimized it for the homeschool market audience.
The goal for this project was to provide useful, comprehensive information about UITAC products and apply marketing strategy by addressing homeschool educators' pain points, but also, to provide clear, digestible descriptions of the products and their features. I designed the guide in Canva as a readable and accessible PDF available for users to easily download and interact with
This project is an edition of The Calliope, Georgia Southern's student-led literary and arts journal, that I edited. With minimal guidance from the faculty advisor, I managed over 60 student submissions, selected pieces for the edition, and designed the layout in Adobe InDesign. Furthermore, to center the perceived audience's interests, I assembled a team of 5 volunteer readers (fellow GS students) to help me score submissions. I designed a scoring system that allowed readers to access the submissions and provide feedback.
The timeline for this project was around 4 months, and I managed submissions and evaluations deadlines, as well as communications with authors, volunteers, and the publishers, myself. This project demonstrates my abilities to do independent work with minimal supervision, make decisions based on time and budget constraints, and design and deliver a polished output.
