Hey there! I'm Sydney, a San Francisco-based graphic designer and art director with a love for typography, print design, and all things music. I am someone who’s not afraid to tackle new challenges through the creative lens of advertising and design. As someone who is constantly picking up new interests and hobbies, it’s safe to say I’m very eager when it comes to starting new creative projects. My work experience includes two years at KUSF College Radio as a Music Director and Graphic Designer. College radio has given me the opportunity to work within the Bay Area music scene alongside recording artists and bands, creating show posters, merch, and zines to help promote events and support local art. I recently completed an apprenticeship at Matador Records. In my time as an apprentice, I've had the chance to learn the inner workings of an independent record label and the development of an album release campaign. I've also had the opportunity to participate in the promotion of bands such as Queens of the Stone Age and Bar Italia via record label social media channels and promotional events. I've even had the opportunity to do some design works for social media promo. As of 2023, I am a recent graduate of the University of San Francisco, where I double majored in Design and Advertising.

    Each year, the American Advertising Federation hosts the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) in which students across the country are given the exact same brief and compete in teams to pitch the best advertising campaign to a select client. The competition allows for students to gain real-world experience in market research, campaign strategy, and advertising. This year's client was Indeed, who tasked students across the U.S. with increasing UAC amongst 18-24 year-olds. Throughout the competition, I had the opportunity to design our planbook and agency branding. This campaign made it through all three rounds of the NSAC competition, from Districts, to Regionals, and finally to Nationals, where it placed amongst the top 8 schools in the nation. pitchdeck branding advertdesign graphicdesign
