Elevating Santa Monica College's Interaction Design Program: The 2023 Annual Report
In 2023, I had the privilege of leading a transformative project as a project manager for Santa Monica College's Interaction Design program. The annual report, a vital marketing tool, aimed to be more than just a document – it was a gateway to showcasing the program's incredible achievements, memorable events, and the exceptional individuals who made the year special.

Challenge: Our initial challenge was to enhance and update this year's annual report while simultaneously crafting an efficient roadmap for future editions.
Insights: Recognizing the extensive time traditionally spent on gathering content and constructing an annual report, we sought to streamline this process. Our goal was to free up valuable time for introducing innovative features and insights. Moreover, we identified the need for clear guidelines for building upon the previous year's template. These guidelines would not only prevent technical missteps but also save precious time in future projects.
Solution: Working in collaboration with two talented designers on development and style, I took on the role of overseeing the bigger picture and content curation. Our collective efforts resulted in a comprehensive solution. The final annual report was not only updated with current and relevant information, but it also sported a fresh and engaging style. A highlight of our success was the inclusion of an interactive 360° tour preview of the physical design studio, providing a dynamic and immersive experience for our audience.
