Designing a Campus Art Tradition
Curator, Exhibition Designer & Program Director
A campus-wide creative program I built from the ground up—curating the contest, designing exhibitions, and guiding student Art Directors at The Egg.
Student Life Art Contest & Exhibition Program
Creative Direction • Program Development • Exhibition Design • Content Strategy
As the creator and creative lead behind the University of Delaware Student Life Art Contest, I developed and shaped a cross-campus arts program that uplifts student artists, activates public space, and transforms Perkins Student Center into a rotating gallery of student storytelling.
Since launching the contest, I’ve overseen every stage of its evolution from concept development to visual systems, submission workflows, jury process, digital content strategy, exhibition design, and creative mentoring for my student Art Directors at The Egg, UD’s in-house student creative agency.
This initiative has grown into a signature Student Life program, celebrating the creativity and cultural expression of the UD student body while providing meaningful professional development for emerging designers.
