Cincinnati recreation commission
Job Responsibilities
As the Graphic Designer for the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, I am responsible for visual and print design, web design, marketing, signage, public relations, photography (DSLR and Drone) and social media and I manage two seasonal design co-ops.
In addition to these major projects, I manage daily design and marketing requests across various departments, including camps, aquatics, athletics, and inclusion. Through this work, I help strategically promote programs that impact over half a million annual visitors—from youth to seniors—across our recreation centers citywide.
Role Development
I started as a team of one, gaining a supervisor about one year into my role, and together we grew the department to have two design co-ops who I manage as the designer. Notable achievements include developing a comprehensive two-year Annual Report, creating the brand for the 'Rec at Nite' teen summer series, aimed at reducing violent crime in key Cincinnati neighborhoods, and leading the redesign of the Cincy Rec website to improve user experience and accessibility.
