Graphics
Columbia Missourian
The Columbia Missourian is a city newspaper and community news organization managed by professional editors and staffed by Missouri School of Journalism students
In my time at the graphics desk, I pitched weekly graphics ideas based on current news stories and events. I worked on a semester-long full-page graphic, creating a print version and an interactive web version, which you can view here. You can view some of my graphics created for the Columbia Missourian below:
Mizzou Asian American Association
The Mizzou Asian American Association serves the APIDA community and allies on the MU campus through activism, allyship, service, social and cultural events.
Graphics were made using Canva and the Adobe Creative Suite.

Election Alert Newsletter for the Columbia Missourian
In this audience project, I worked with a group to put together a weekly newsletter for The Columbia Missourian meant to inform and engage voters ahead of the General Municipal Election. This newsletter served as a form of service journalism, answering frequently asked questions about the upcoming election, providing summaries of forums and candidate profiles, as well as linking to reporting from The Missourian itself.
Newsletter examples
Read the newsletter "Election Alert: One Week Away".
Read the newsletter "Election Alert: FAQs and Must-Knows".
Social media promotion
