Program Director
The Society of Typographic Arts
During the time I led programming, I brought a fresh perspective to the society, which as a result saw a significant growth in event attendance, membership, and engagement, especially among young professionals.
My strategy was to empower
and build the design community
through engaging events
that informed and connected people.

By immersing myself in

talking with designers, I discovered
the community’s interests, tested ideas, and designed meaningful opportunities.
