Amazon AWS
As a visual designer on AWS's Design for Strategic Innovation (D4SI) team, I championed design cohesion across Global Executive Marketing ensuring customer-facing assets met executive-level standards across five-plus teams. Working closely with Executive Marketing also gave me hands-on exposure to graphic facilitation, synthesizing live conversation into visual structure, further pushing my storytelling and organizational thinking.

Building reports and streamlining process
To help the team keep pace with the 400+ workshops since 2018, I built a scalable InDesign template — then used it to produce roughly 1/3 of the team's reports in 2021-2022 alone, turning raw photos and live illustrations into dynamic, customer-ready pages.
I cut report production time by roughly 2 hours by building a shared Adobe Creative Cloud library of spotlight illustrations — no more digging through past reports for usable graphics.
I led training workshops on best practices for photo capture, so D4SI could reliably produce legible, accessible illustrations downstream. Shadowing the in-person 'room builds' I helped streamline the setup workflow, cutting room build time from 3 hours to 1. I also partnered with illustrators to develop accessible color palettes for all illustration captures.
