Live Experiences Co-Created
Live Experiences Co-Created
During my time as both a student and later a faculty member at the University of Indianapolis, I had the opportunity to co-create dozens of live events in collaboration with students, staff, and fellow faculty. These collaborative projects included (but are not limited to):
-Conference presentations for organizations such as Meeting Professionals International and Mens et Mensa Society for the Study of Food in the Middle Ages
-A semester long, student-driven experiential marketing campaign on campus
-Immersive experiences such as a mock "museum of the paranormal" and a non-timed escape room challenge
-Several educational events created for local clients and organizations
I was also a member of UIndy’s United Way Committee in 2022, contributing to the university committee's fundraising campaign for said year.
The projects featured below represent work completed during that period and are included here with appropriate attribution. They are presented to highlight the scope of collaborative design I’ve participated in throughout my career. The following work was created prior to the founding of BDP XD and represents collaborative projects from my academic and professional journey.
