Professional Project Management

Universal Destinations & Experience

Current Project: Confidential

My current project requires me to work closely with executive stakeholders to create a program roadmap, dependency map, and process flows while executing on individual projects. This program requires strict documentation and executive stakeholder alignment in order to work with many sides of the business to execute on a large effort of work.

Universal Destinations & Experiences: MarTech Activation Team Triggers

The MarTech Activation team was tasked with moving into a new platform to support more personalized content, improving creative, and implementing new strategies for new and existing trigger campaigns.

I implemented standard phase gates, process flows, Workfront templates, status reports, a RAID log, and a Change Request process to define how we work with our strategy, creative, dev, and data teams. Stakeholders loved the new changes, expressing how they knew where all the projects were, what the blockers were, and what actions were needed from them.

Universal Epic Universe:
Digital Logos & Map

Universal Epic Universe needed a new digital wayfinding map for the app and digital logos for their website. I streamlined communications between Operations/Creative executives and our creative vendors to bring their vision and needs to life. I accounted for multiple rounds of creative compliance given that these digital assets were net-new for a park that was not yet open.

Redesign Challenge

This redesign of Guru Indian Restaurant was the start of my resdesign challenge to improve my Figma skills. I challenged myself to improve them without adding extra content (with a few exceptions).

I changed the information structure to make the important details more accessible, increased contrast where text covered images, and used the pink as an accent color instead of displaying it heavily on the page.

 

Skills: Figma, accessibillity, information architecture

This redesign of the Coffee Shop of Horrors website was the second in my resdesign challenge to improve my Figma skills. I challenged myself to improve them without adding extra content (with a few exceptions).

I improved the contrast and layout to make components more readable and centered, made the colors and fonts consistent and cohesive, and rearranched the navigational components to make it easier to use.

Design & Code Website
