As the Director of the Creative Production Services team, I was responsible for managing the work of a talented group of designers, writers, and a video production manager.

Ellucian brand: 2016
Ellucian Brand Revisions: 2017
Ellucian brand refresh circa 2017. Brand essence: Powered by our passion for higher ed. Brand motto: Solutions built to power higher ed. The low-poly fractal pattern represents the many facets of a campus coming together as one. We use this pattern when we talk about Ellucian at the highest and broadest level.
Solutions Sheets
Packed together, hexagons form a honeycomb—a model of strength and efficiency. We use this pattern (below) to illustrate the strength of Ethos and the power of connections across the higher education ecosystem.
Product Brochures
The overlapping angle pattern is a zoomed-in application of the hexagon pattern. We use these angles when taking a closer look at Ellucian, as when we discuss our products, services, and people.
Advertisements
The full page ads above were designed by my in-house team. The digital ads below were designed by an agency with direction from me. Their original design for the "seamless" concept was a circular table. I suggested we turn it into the "power button e" and worked with them to perfect the execution.
