I was a page designer on The Redwood from 2022 to 2026. Instagram Highlight
As a page designer, I designed 5-6 spreads each quarter using Adobe Indesign, and communicated daily with the Design Director, page designers, photographers, and copywriters. At bi-weekly meetings, I gave design feedback to my teammates and reviewed page proofs for the final publication.
In senior year (2025-2026) of college, I was promoted to the role of Design Director. Alongside the responsibilities of a designer, I worked with the Editor-in-Chief to develop a comprehensive design guide that was used by a team of student designers. I also led a short workshop that reviews Adobe InDesign, as well as all design team meetings. I communicated daily with the editor, all designers, copywriters, and photographers. Finally, I also worked to edit the spreads alongside the editor at the end of the year, and had a say in the cover of the book.
