City of Cincinnati

As a graphic designer within the Department of Transportation and Engineering, my role tasked me with maintaining the city's brand equity and tone of voice across a multitude of platforms. The projects below showcase a range of work from print media to UX design.

OPEN HOUSE POSTERS

Posters advertise opportunities to learn how city projects affect the community.

CITY WEBSITE
The restructuring of the Department of Transportation and Engineering’s website was an exercise in information hierarchy. Although the website bore the city’s latest CSS, the existing content and architecture had not been updated comprehensively for over a decade. The website was designed for five visitors who seek specific content.

BRAND IDENTITY

In a refresh of the City of Cincinnati's identity, the city wears its crown as the Queen City, formed by the interlocking arms of its community.

INFORMATION VISUALIZATION

Community engagement is the key to a successful public project. As a graphic designer in the Department of Transportation & Engineering, I create visualizations of complex data, historical development, and proposed plans for communities with the goal of creating constructive dialogue between city employees and residents.
