For my 2025–2026 internship experience, I was given the opportunity to work with the Office of Institutional Advancement at Seton Hill University, where I was able to explore multiple aspects of graphic design, including print and publication design, as well as limited experience with digital and media design. I was brought on as a graphic design intern to assist the lead graphic designer with the creation of small-scale projects, while also serving as the lead designer for the university-wide rebranding campaign, Hazard Yet Forward.
For this project, there were two main publications: an academic book and an academic magazine. The book contains essays written by various professors on academic topics within their disciplines that connect to the history, values, mission, or disciplines of Seton Hill University and/or the Sisters of Charity. Scattered throughout the book between the essays are various juried creative works created by students, faculty, and alumni that represent or connect to Seton Hill University and/or the Sisters of Charity. The magazine is organized around the four “pillars” of Seton Hill: Welcoming, Serving, Learning, and Celebrating. Within the publication, readers can find information regarding the four pillars and the history of Seton Hill, as well as excerpts from each essay alongside selected featured creative works. The total page count for the book was 210 pages, while the magazine totaled 40 pages. The book is available for purchase through the university, while the magazine has been published and distributed throughout the Seton Hill community and at various events.
In addition to these larger projects, I designed the 2025 Homecoming events poster, which was displayed around campus, as well as invitations for both the Open House event held at the Seton Hill Regina House, the historic residence of the university president, and the Alumni and Sisters of Charity Christmas on the Hill event. This internship spanned from September 2025 to January 2026, with weekly independent work time and 1 full in-office day a week.
