Apr 2009 - Present (15 years 8 months)
As an exhibit and graphic designer at EDX, I work with and coordinate between project managers, exhibit and graphic designers, CAD drafters, writers, and artists to usher ideas from concept to fabrication.
I have worked on projects for clients across the country and while each project is unique, my responsibilities in a typical job include:
• project management.
• designing two-dimensional and three-dimensional exhibit graphics and user experiences.
• designing the "look and feel" and functionality of digital interactive experiences.
• communicating design intent to the client at the end of each phase of the project.
• database creation and maintenance.
• image acquisition.
• copy-editing.
• writing project briefs and meeting reports.
• creating high-resolution, print-ready artwork for fabrication.
• working with artists and photographers to create custom artwork.
• designing and communicating artistic treatments for other media.
I also work in support of EDX's marketing efforts to update the company's social media profiles as needed, produce proposals, and design visual collateral and presentations used in the promotion of EDX to potential clients and fellow designers in the industry.
