Translating institutional direction into a cohesive visual experience within a collaborative design environment.

My Role in the System

Operated within a large, cross-functional team responsible for developing a client-facing interactive experience for WSU Vancouver’s Life Sciences Building.

Contributed to the visual system through asset creation and visual refinement, supporting cohesion across imagery, layout, and presentation patterns within a shared design environment.

System Overview

The project operated through a multi-team collaborative framework with defined roles, approval stages, and shared ownership across design, development, and content.

Work progressed through a coordinated pipeline, requiring alignment between visual, interactive, and institutional requirements to maintain cohesion across the experience.

Approach

Work was guided by predefined principles and structured feedback cycles, requiring ongoing alignment between visual, interactive, and institutional requirements.

Visual decisions were shaped through iteration and refinement, translating abstract guidance into concrete patterns that could be applied consistently across the system.

Project Goals

The project supports institutional communication and recruitment goals through cohesive visual and interactive design.

It ensures that content, imagery, and interaction patterns align within a shared structure, maintaining clarity across a complex, multi-contributor environment.

Project Highlights

• Contribution to a shared visual system within a large, cross-functional team

• Translation of abstract direction into consistent imagery and layout patterns

• Alignment of visual output with structured approval and feedback processes

• Support of a coordinated design pipeline across multiple contributors

Process

Artifacts illustrating how visual cohesion and organizational structure were maintained across the broader design process.
