2017 — 2021
Senior Visual Designer, BuildingConnected, an Autodesk Company,
San Francisco, CA
As the first Brand Designer hired, I worked with the Creative Director on redesigning the website within my first month, doing all the product illustrations throughout. In my time there, we grew from the company from 415K users to a network of over one million.
Most recently, I led a team of six through a holistic rebrand, starting from research to establishing the brand styleguide. This was all done in tandem with daily tasks and marketing campaigns.
When our company merged with Autodesk, I worked with HR to establish an employee onboarding program that would reflect our values and educate new hires on how our product is pushing the industry forward. I helped them shift the entire experience to a virtual format when we started working remotely.
