«UIUC BFA Exhibitions
From 2012–2016, I directed select groups of graphic design students in the production of materials to commemorate and promote the annual School of Art and Design BFA Exhibition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. These groups are tasked with developing an appropriate visual theme and implementing it across a variety of media (such as print catalogs, websites, posters, and installation graphics). My responsibilities have included providing oversight / direction / critique, coordinating with print vendors, and assisting with the technical development of digital work.
