KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Art directed and designed animated intros for social-first video system 
  • Designed cards for campaigns, executive thought, and corporate communications

  • Built do-it-yourself cards in Canva for org-wide self-service
At Morningstar, my social media design work fed into a larger, holistic system I helped build. From animated video intros to cards for campaigns, executive thought leadership, and corporate communications, everything shared the same foundations: standardized typography, margins, color, and logo placement. I co-built this org-wide template system in Figma, creating scalable consistency built for future automation. The system also informed self-service Canva templates, reducing the design team’s dependency on routine requests.
