About Me
Hello! My name is Tony and I am a newly professional graphic designer that studied Visual Communications at the University of Oklahoma. Having five years of relevant design experience, I developed my skills learning in the classroom as well as working with on-campus student organizations to develop branding and identity for their various causes. I have had the opportunity to work as a lead designer for a local maker space—learning skills such as 3D modeling and printing, laser cutting, woodworking, and CNC machine operating.
Aside from technical design skills, I have also had the opportunity to fulfill multiple leadership roles within different student organizations on campus. Most notably serving as the president of the Union Programming Board, a division of the university’s Campus Activities Council that focuses on creating welcoming and engaging events for students centered around the student union, as well as an executive member for Camp Crimson, OU’s freshman orientation camp that gives the entire freshman body a warm welcome to the university for an entire week full of events and networking.
Throughout my time at the University, I’ve learned that I thrive around meeting new people and making them feel welcome, so I design most easily for individuals who want to work around other people. I focus my designs on celebrating people and telling their stories through exciting visuals and engaging content.
My Latest Projects
Campus Activities Council’s University Sing is an OU tradition that showcases the vocal, dance, and theatrical talent of students at the University each fall semester.Every year brings a different and unique theme for casts to work with, and for the 2022 University Sing year, my own theme idea was chosen and I had the opportunity to create the branding and identity for the whole show.
Camp Crimson is OU’s orientation camp for incoming freshmen. In 2021, I was given the opportunity to serve as a part of the team that completely re-imagined the way Camp Crimson ran.
