PeopleGrove is a SaaS platform for career mentorship and alumni engagement in higher education.
When San Francisco State University licensed the software in 2019, I was asked to design the branding, style guidelines, and marketing collateral for our new student and alumni portal, which we named GatorConnect.

The Career Services & Leadership Development Center at San Franciso State University commonly utilizes internal materials such as worksheets, guides, and best practices to supplement its counseling services and provide students with resources to take home. A recurring task of mine was to update these resources with new and relevant information and, on occasion, to create new resources with the information provided by the career counselor.

In 2018, San Francisco State University’s Career Services & Leadership Development Center underwent a significant expansion of its office and services. This expansion integrated new services and software to give students access to the latest modern technologies and resources to help them in their endeavors.
As each new service rolled out, I was responsible for creating and updating the center’s service brochures and instructional handouts, which we used as internal marketing tools regularly stocked in-office and at our major events.
