Daikin Day

Description: Graphics for an annual outdoor event held for 2,000+ employees and their families at Daikin’s new manufacturing facility in Waller, TX.

Objective: To recruit employees for event volunteer work and to help build excitement for a new event that year — the Daikin Olympics. Create all pieces on a shoestring budget.

Comments: This was an internal volunteer role. Projects were completed in addition to my full-time duties.

Responsibilities: Art direction, production, web design, sign printing/installation, cheerleader

Employer: Goodman Manufacturing (Daikin North America) | Houston, TX

Communicating clearly with 2,000+ employees, many of which don’t have computers, was a challenge. I created a simple, easy to follow site that could be clearly viewed on tablets and phones. The content was organized according to the importance of the user.

Responsibilities: Art direction, production. Collaborate with event coordinator over content and design.

Software: Squarespace, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator

Employee volunteers were the backbone of running the event. Part of my job was to help recruit them person-to-person and via bold friendly graphics placed all throughout the facility.

Responsibilities: Art direction, production. Collaborate with event coordinator over content and design. Produce templates for the production designer.

Software: Adobe Illustrator, Indesign

I designed, produced, printed, and with volunteer assistance installed roughly 50+ signs the morning of the event. All materials were printed/assembled in-house to reduce cost.
